I will have 4 polyps of True PPE at the swap Sunday if anyone is interested.


Price $50 per polyp. BTW these things grow like weeds!

(Oh and just so we are clear these are from my own tank at home.)

PPE = Purple People Eaters, right???

 

[mcox33]

I am sure that is what he means

 

[firefish2020]

Yep the real deal.
I'll have them at the swap.
This is the mother colony before it went nuts and covered everything LOL.

This is them under actinic.

If.......

"they grow like weeds"

and

"the mother colony went nuts and covered everything"

Why are they $50 per polyp?

Supply and demand says it all. Its not what you paid or have in them its what they are worth.

My bad, I knew they were not readily available, did not know they were so rare or expensive, normally the two do not go along with "grow like weeds".

But that is great, in a few months, they will be like xenia?.................. alright maybe not.

................................. I think yes, but normally applies to a business as opposed to "a group of marine hobbyist’s dedicated to the exchange of information/ideas among ourselves with a focus on coral propagation."


Either way they do look great.....if only I had not been suckered into those Sgt. Slaughters.

It should also read...."and to make some extra cash to support our habit"

Ron do those trace back to Blane?

if only I had not been suckered into those Sgt. Slaughters.

:lol:

BTW, if anyone is still looking for some ultra rare SSG SPECIAL EDITIONS I still have some available. Looking for rare trades or $199.99 a polyp.

 

[firefish2020]

Yes they trace back to the originals.

We did a group buy several months back from a guy on another forum. Had to buy over 12 of them. I wont even say how much that was, but I can tell you the price is more than fare. When I have say 100 Im willing to sell, then the price will drop but till then they are below what you would pay anywhere else.

Like Jim said we need to support our habits, and I need a new Ca reactor, I don't think anyone is giving anything away unless it is xenia, and as I recall people made a killing with that when we first started. Im sure one day PPEs will be just as common till then though thats just how it is.

If anyone is interested I might be able to peel off one more polyp, but that's it for this month.


BTW For future reference.
Asking legitimate questions is perfectly fine, but ridiculing and sabotaging someone else's post is not a respectable practice IMO. It's not my fault these things cost what they do, and Im not giving them away when I can use the funds for supplies for my own tank.

Remember the golden rule and please play nice.
