Emerald525 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 It's beautiful but really 3000 dollars?(nutty) Really? Maybe for some couple who are willing to get this instead of an engagement ring. Then again you may lose an engagement ring or have it stolen but you would have insurance and there's not the risk that an engagement ring is going to die on you. Can you get insurance for corals?(scratch) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I want to see it in person. The colors don't look right in the picture which leads me to believe it's doesn't look quite the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stylaster Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 this guy has been trying to sell it for several months now. Also fungia can change colors some also, so who's to say if it will stay that way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Looks shopped to me as well Rick. Well Mick why don't you be sneaky about it and ask him: Does the 3000 dollar price tag include the camera and photshop sofware! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grassi Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 I can sell you my camera, pc, software and a brown fungia for the same price, if you are interested :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gonna give me the money to make that purchase Kim? LOL Besides, I can spend 3 grand on a tank, an be a lot happier, than having one fungia LOL.

impur Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I love that nobody has bought it. He got it in a shipment and turned around and posted it for $5000. What i don't understand is how that is not trying to turn a profit on a coral, something that is against Reef Central's user agreement. But they still let him try to sell it and even clean up his sale thread since everyone calls him out for the price. I hope he never finds a buyer.

I'm not shy! I will sign up for reef central right now. I don't think I will ask my photoshop camera question. I cannot imagine someone willing to pay that kind of money for one coral but you never know. It kind of reminds me of the nanotank on craigslist a while back that someone was trying to sell for 1000 dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Update: So I posted on r2r that 1700 dollars was a lot of money for one coral even a nice one and that I also thought that turning a profit on a coral was against the user agreement and my post was removed: "edited by revhtree*** Sorry were not going to have these type of post. PM him if you want to know." I didn't even ask if the camera and the photoshop software came along with the price? Go figure... why would they support this?

jgf86123 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 If I had the money to blow, I'd buy it, an then turn around an give any and all babies away for free, and make sure he knows that they're being given away for free :P I have no idea how that would prove any kind of point to him, but, it'd make me feel better for spending that kind of money on a coral LOL. I'd do the same thing to all those 2k per eye chalices too LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd do the same thing to all those 2k per eye chalices too LOL. LOL feel free to buy any of my overpriced corals and give them away to prove a point! I can sell you a birdnest frag for one thousand dollars! (laugh) It will really hurt my feelings then if you give it away for free! Seriously, I'm not sure why my post was removed. I sent a PM to the moderator. 1700 dollars is just ridiculous and not sure why the site would promote this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 He probably knows somebody who knows somebody an is therefore untouchable, you know how these internet things work LOL. And your right, it wouldn't prove a point to him, but, it would make me feel better and probably give me mad karma, to give away things like that for free, and honestly, I could use all of the good karma I can get my hands on LOL.

Emerald525 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Okay so revhtree the owner/administrator of reef 2 reef was kind enough to answer my question about removing my post and here was the answer: Well the threads of others is not a place to debate what they are selling. It is just common courtesy. Hope you understand. So this was my response: Thank you for responding to me. I am new to this site so I am not sure of the proper way to address concerns. I understand common courtesy but I am surprised that such an outrageous price is allowed. Is there a way to flag a post like in craigslist or a way to report the post? I'm not the only one who feels this way about this particular post. I would report this to the moderator but I'm guessing you are the moderator so it seems you support this kind of ridiculous pricing. It's also common courtesy to try not to stick it to some unsuspecting newbie who is stupid enough to spend 5000 dollars on one coral. It definitely does not give me a "warm fuzzy collaborative" feeling about your site and the response to this was: Well we do not dictate what prices anyone puts on their corals. If you like it buy it, if not don't. There is no way we can police prices and I apologize for that. Buyer Beware in other words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impur Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 If that was RC you would have been banned with no response from the mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
