[cidory]

Rob I dont even tell my wife what I pay for stuff, suffice it to say, the going rate

 

[robthorn]

are you kidding? I tell my wife everything and we get along great because of it. there's no guessing and wondering.
the going rate? sounds like you paid too much

 

[amheck]

So what is the going rate for micro's these days? Are there other small ones like that?

It could have been worse. 2 1/2" frag = $500.00?

Is it just me or has LA prices gotten even more out of hand that the rest of the industry.

that is rediculous lol.

well, we all know it's free market. he could charge 1500 if he wanted to, it's a matter of who's willing. apparently hobbyists are to blame in part for the whole acan craze. i heard someone in the area paid around 60 bucks for a lordho that went for 1200 on ebay. no wonder that degree of gouging trickled all the way back up the lines. don't get me wrong, i'm sure the people that are actually in the industry play a huge part, but hobbyists had a big role in the whole greed scenario by making as much as they could of each other. it kind if blew up in their faces. when i got back in it about a year ago, i asked the infamous oceana how much for a xenia frag. 15/head. wow, is he feeding his family or just trying gouge away. and we are all familiar with the practice of hoard, fraggle, gouge.

 

[mattliu]

oh, i can't help but mention how oceana bought robthorn's set up for less than dirt cheap, turned around and sold just tank, stand, and canopy for more than he paid for everything. who knows what happened to the thousands of dollars of livestock rob had in there.
