I picked mine up last Saturday. The best ORA piece yet IMO and I have a lot of them.

I just got mine today. I traded in a Lumenarc mini and a 3 month old bulb for it.

berry, blue vodoo ,validas, and a few others, but they all are a great price! 39.99-69.99

I saw this post and told my LFS about it. They put me #1 on their list. They got 2 in, they kept one for their display and I got the other one. I guess ORA is only releasing a few per LFS. I got mine straight from the UPS warehouse.

Most New release ORA corals only limit one but if you 're a good customer they will send you 2. Our waitng list is also a mile long, some people wont get theirs until November.....

When people have have a decent one, do they support it alot....or only for things you could not get cheaper somewhere else? Might be why they went belley-up. This is one big reason why people do not see a lot of them still around. To save a few $$ people will get all the information and the little things they need from them, but when big purchases come along, (to save $5 on a $200 item) they will buy online from a vendor that has no experience or store to support. Do gyms give away lessons? Do people work for free? Why cannot a store charge a little more than 10% markup, $40 on a $400 item. I could not even do that.
Sorry to rant and rave, but bugs me and hurts when people post this stuff. Would like to get some of these in to a LFS but mine is gone now due to things like this. Eric would you pay the $89 going rate for this coral in my old store when it was there, or just get those $1.50 snails? Reason why more LFS close every year, hard to stay open and make very little profit when other business are making 40,50 and more % profit to stay open.
Love this thread, just hurt to see this statement

I hear you 100% man. It wasn't your fault that they crashed so don't take it so hard. There obviously needs to be a bigger "member" base for profit to be made IMO. There aren't that many people in SF that did salt water let along pay $89 for a coral like this. and YES I would pay $89 bucks for this or pay for a frag. In this hobby you need to have a decent pocket book or you need to DIY and frag stuff and around here there isn't that much $$. IF I had the money or was in the market for this coral YES I would buy it. I've done it before.
Try the gym business when you are selling space and not even a product. People don't see that you have any money in anything. Just put some equipment in a room and you have a gym...right :rolleye1: And yes they do steal lessons or buy supplements online when I talk to them about them in the store unfortunately it is part of my biz. And we don't get to mark stuff up much at all. Make pennies on the dollar.
