No. They are rarely available in shipments from SI and PNG too.

You can also do them through a group buy.

Go to a local club here on RC, your from NC so look for one. Local Clubs often do group buys.

The people over at So Cal just did a group buy from ORA, and got them for awesome prices.

There were like a total of 50 clowns bought, ranging from Naked, to the common Occ, and blacks.

Good Luck with your search

Just ask your lfs store if they buy from ORA if they do they can order them for you. They are cool I have seen them from ORA and they are sweet.

just to let you guys know ORA has stopped producing them and they have sold all their stock.

WC demand a high price, even though most wholesalers are not going to pay much, if any premium for them.

CB are going to sell based in part on the WC sales price, which at retail, because they are rare in numbers is high. Also since there currently is only one producer selling them, likely for not much more than regular A. percula, there is also going to be a supply shortage, i.e. higher price for the end buyer.

Welcome to a capitalist system...

quaterback. i dont care if the clowns cost 1 penny. and they sell for 100 retail. thats what you call wholesale market.

the fact that they even exist for you and i to buy is a good thing.

and yes i know how much they sell for and the wholesale market.

 

[EMBRYOGUY]

ok hartman, you beat me to it. well said.

 

[quaterback-killer]

please;; i buy wholesale and sell retail but i do not rape my customers in price. hey what others do thats up to them im just expressing my opion. and able to sleep at night . if they dont belive in (whats go's around also come's around) thats up to them but dont try to make it seem ok...

 

[EMBRYOGUY]

its ok to me. personally i hope they sell them for even more. less competition.

 

[quaterback-killer]

im not suprised. becuase competition make things better thats why this hobby is at the stage its at now. things got beeter made and cheeper for others to afford. with out it people would only have a 12 gallon tank and nothing else. peace
