I have two tables being set up at next weeks largest frag show in New England. Tons of vendors and hobbyists such as my self will be selling. In fact, Jason Fox comes every year. We locals see the prices he charges against what locals are asking. I even have some of his corals which will be half if not even less than his asking price.
Thats what I like to see- a step in the right direction. I do much the same. Selling a few peices of overgrowth to help fund your hobby is a great thing and in the end helps the impact of wild collection.
So many hobbiests these days will spend $300 on a 3" sps frag, then sell their first 3" for $300, as well as every inch thereafter, treating their "high end" corals like a buisness/piggy bank. Its sad to see this happening and becoming common practice.
I am well known for selling $5/polyp and less, even on the highest end. People cant beleive it till I explain it to them-
Yeah, this coral cost a bit of cash- but this is the 10th frag Ive sold off the overgrowth- the coral has paid for itself 5 times already. It really opens peoples eyes to how it all works, and just how commercial many others have become.
If I was anywhere near new england, I would surely check out your table.
