Wow,

This month's TOTM owner is cashing in.

It ain't him. He is very humble and generous.

Good for you Ben, "A fool and his money are soon parted".

Very doubtful, either of them will ever read this.

I apologize then to SniperSPS. I guess I just made an assumption based on the eBay listing. My bad,

Mike

If I'm not mistaken, the winning bidder is a member her on RC.

What was he thinking???:crazy1: :crazy1: :crazy1:

Charles,
not sure if you're talking about me? i'm not the buyer. i wish i had that kind of doughnuts lying around though.
the owner of exoticreefs is one of the nicest, most generous reefers around also. you've dealt with him.

 

[amuruges]

How can you blame the seller for high bids on an auction? After all he did start off the auction at 15bucks right?

Eric, when you have a frag to sell let me know... tks

 

[moga]

is this april fools joke?..

right?

 

[jsweir]

Actually, I think it is awesome for the seller(s). I just hate to see prices get pushed so high that most reefers will not see a frag of this anymore....I love the seller's site - reasonalbly priced frags that are usually awesome stuff.

I hope it is, but the way people are going crazy these days i'm afraid it's real. :crazy1: :crazy1: :crazy1:

 

[easttn]

Doh,

Sorry Ben I ment John. Way to go John, if you ever read this how's your manfrag doing?

 

[Travis]

I agree with the statement about John. I've dealt with him in the past and he was one of the nicest and most generous sellers/people I've ever dealt with.

I just don't understand how someone could seriously pay that much for a frag. Heck, I wouldn't even pay that much for a 24" colony of something really nice. I admit, I have frags that I paid over $150 for that were less than an inch but that is about as high as I'd go. But, I guess if you have the money laying around........

 

[G-money]

Yeah Travis, but I'm so happy I have no problem living without a $500 piece of coral.

 

[RCS]

My mom always told me that something you have is only worth what someone else is willing to pay you for it. Truth in action there. Nice piece, and I was watching it...but dang, yeah, I stopped watching when it neared $100, especially since they had a link to their site and it was a LOT less there. I love Ebay!

Dang. I wonder how SniperSPS feals about that?

Also, whats pretty sad is the way this hobby is starting to get. It's all about the money now a days.
I had asked for a frag of it months ago, was told too busy at the time, then after the price was going up on a frag on ebay, I was told a much higher price for a frag than what it would have cost a couple months back.
So I had to pass on the frag, just not willing to spend those big bucks. The coral will drop in price like all the others.

uasually when i have a frag for sale on exoticreefs and some one aske me about a coral from the site i ask the same as it is in johns website and this time i only raised 25 dollars nothing compared with the price on ebay and when i dont want to selll a coral and people are buging me about a coral eventually i will but ill raise the price because its something i dont r want to sell

 

[mntl]

congrats sniper!!! Your corals are awsome.

[curtisvill]

Beautiful tank Sniper, and nice answer.

 

[tubs]

Thanks for the support fellas and FWIW I discounted the item with a majority of my commission on the lemonade - it was way more than I expected and felt sheepish with the price :eek2:
