[Kdocimo90]

[InsaneClownFish]

[JD06351]

Crack might be cheaper.

i would love some yellow hornets but it would suck if i spent that much just to have them fade or melt.

 

[stevedola]

i think PVH on brs sells hornets infact I think its his pic that zoaid.com uses. hes on the up and up. you can always ask if theyre available. not sure of price.

 

[erbgo]

guy is nuts hope no one is nuts enough to buy them

 

[hans1976]

Notice he is from Stamford,Ct and he is charging sales tax. That usually means he is a business.

 

[Kdocimo90]

I sent him a message asking why he wont allow local pick up and i asked him "arent those the zoas that sell for $10 per polyp usually"

What? These are purple hornets, not blue hornets. The original frag of purple hornets sold for $350 a polyp just 2-3 months ago or so....
They have come down a lot, but closer to 50-100, and still not anywhere near 10. They probably bought them at a standard price and looking for markup.
And they probably don't want pickup because they don't want a random person they have never had any contact with showing up at their house for a $200 transaction.
If you aren't interested in buying the frag, leave the guy alone.

No.... Right now Purple hornets are going for 10-20$ per polyp

Now that i look elsewhere on ebay, i see some are going for around 30 with 6 days left. If that's the case, then I guess I'm a little behind. But this guy is just behind too, although only by a 5-6 months. I'm behind by only 1-2. Here is his thread on BRS http://www.bostonreefers.org/forums/showthread.php?t=72894
He probably bought them when they were hot and just looking for a bit of his money back. If you don't want them, don't buy them.

yah. Prices have dropped dramatically. Thats why I never buy nice zoas when have just been introduced to the market. Then once prices are down, you decide whether you REALLY do like them, or if you were just following the crowd.

amen. I'd pay a few bucks a polyp for them, but not anywhere near what they were going for a few months ago.

 

[staninct]

I'm pretty sure that guy is on the boards here too.
