Saw on Facebook that some people are selling bounce shrooms for $1,500 a pop. Sounds crazy to me but curious if this is the case.

LOL! Funny considering there was a vendor selling a whole pack of very rare mushrooms for way less than that. Buyer beware!

I think the bounce started catching on only a few years ago, and it sold an adult for about 400. But that was a really sweet one. I think KLR was the one that scored it?

I want one. I heard the PZ Godspawn is very similar but I've never seen either in person.

Bigger ones were selling for 1000 at Macna and babies went for 400-500. They all sold the first day. When you see it in person it really is stunning but agreed that 1500 is too high.

the M in mushroom stands for multiplies like mad. I couldn't see paying that much for something there will be so much of down the road. This is just my view, and others are welcome to buy the latest and greatest when it starts to spring off in popularity. This means I will be able to get a reasonably priced frag sooner as there are more propagators ;)

I saw a site about a month ago, selling them for about 150.They had a few different colored ones. I saw them while surfing for corals. Now I can't remember who had them. If I knew they were fetching that kind of jing, I would have snatched them up!!!!

Rare Reef has them for $400 and Cornbred has them for $500, and those prices raised an eyebrow for me... $1500 makes no sense.

It amazes me what people are willing to pay for sheer bragging rights. These look nothing special without actinic. I'll stick to my ricordeas and Yumas.

there just doing that to keep the price stable with the fluctuating market value of these things. just to put more hype on them so people boost up the price. then the vendors boost it up by 50-70% so its a stupid thing... but that is how it goes.
