CA2OR Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 So far here is my order for myself and others, you know who you are. What do you think? 10xEye of Jupiter Zoa's 2 head Santas Aussie Acan 2 head Valentines Aussie Lord 2 head Luscious Aussie Quote
mrgreenthumb Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 seems pretty spendy to me, though i havn't seen any pics of the corals in question. The whole acan craze has kinda died down and so have the prices. You will not find me paying $25 per head......thats for sure! Quote
spectra Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Unless its a fruit loop(whistle) But so are you:p Quote
mrgreenthumb Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 shoot they were a lot less than $25 per head! Quote
mrgreenthumb Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 i'd be a (nutty)fruitloop(nutty) to not buy those acans!!!(laugh) Quote
spectra Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Yes you would be. But I also heard that you traded a few things also for them(plotting) Now they are almost 25 a head as there is only one frag left and am sure it will sell for way more than 25 a headDOH! Quote
mrgreenthumb Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 ahh yes but i traded for instore credit, which was mostly so i could get the tyree watermelon, had to use some bribery to coax him into selling it haha, the acans were an afterthought. sorry to hijack your thread ca2or.........it happens:D Quote
JasonH Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 There's more of that fruitloop acan - where? Must have... (sorry to continue to highjack) Quote
spectra Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 There's more of that fruitloop acan - where? Must have... (sorry to continue to highjack) Ebay! And like I said they are going to probably sell for 300 for about 5 polyps. Quote

JasonH Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Thanks Spectra and MrGreenThumb. I'll be tracking this one. Normally I would never buy a coral off of ebay, but since you've already purchased one and it turned out to be just what was advertised, I supose it's worth a shot. Quote
R-3 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 http://cgi.ebay.com/Live-Coral-Australian-Acanthastrea-Lord-Colony-Lot-Z_W0QQitemZ350160828698QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item350160828698&_trksid=p3911.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:1205|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318 here is a link for ya! Hey Matt will Perry let you pickup and avoid the $52 overnight fee? Quote
R-3 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 So far here is my order for myself and others, you know who you are. What do you think? 10xEye of Jupiter Zoa's 2 head Santas Aussie Acan 2 head Valentines Aussie Lord 2 head Luscious Aussie Way to much for $250 if you ask me. BTW-I thought you were trying to save money Quote
spectra Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 If you are nice:D Yes Perry lets you pick up if you win an auction. That is the only reason I will buy his stuff as there is no shipping charge. Kind of sucks now as he moved into a real shop and it is farther from my houseDOH! Ok now maybe back to CA2ORs thread(laugh) Quote
CA2OR Posted February 3, 2009 Author Posted February 3, 2009 I am saving money, this order is to be filled in May. Right when bonus hit's check.(clap) Quote
mrgreenthumb Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 for 1 zoa frag and 6 eyes of any acan, i would ballpark it at $100 at the very most!! Even then the store owner is making it pretty good. $250 is full on internet markup for the suckers with to much money in there pocket, that can't get the amazing deals and corals we get out here on the west coast...... aka east coasters haha. Quote
CA2OR Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 I am finding other very nice pieces as well. Might not make this order and make new one. I will post for advice when I accumilate the order. Quote
spectra Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Who are these coming from? Is it a sponsor? Quote
CA2OR Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 no....I wish. I am creating list of coral order to either fill this week or in May\June. Depends on what my payoff is this week and my bonus. The list of site I am using are here. The initial list was made from a store I used to frequent. Vividaquariums.com also Juicycorals.com reefer.powweb.com fragglereef.com and reefexotic.net the vivid one is going to be a pick up not shipped. I get discounts there due to my history with them. If our sponsers had these I would like to get from them. Keep the business local. Quote
CA2OR Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 I do keep checking with our sponsers and LFS's to see what they got. I would really like to use them and them only to get corals and fish. I will never work up the same kind of relationship with the stores here if I continue not to buy from them. Vivid and I have a great relationship, but I have spent over 10k there. Of course money was a bit better then too. Need the economy to turn around again so people can afford my services....and I can afford more coral. Quote
markdadof2 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Have you asked any local shops if they could get what you wanted? Give them a chance Quote
