I'm in Australia, so we dont see this as much here with SPS (although there are a few...)
Mostly see it with Goni and other soft coral's.
I can buy wild colony's for around $40 AUD, there is no way you can chop them up and sell straight away though, I have found they take 3-6 months at least to colour back up.
It is fun rolling the dice with them to see if you get some great colours, I have had some that have come in brown and turned out amazing! (Wont spam this post with pics though).
One thing I do though, is take a couple of frags of each colony when putting them in, as the frags will colour up faster. I don't sell these though unless they fully colour up and completely encrust themselves onto the plug (and even then I only sell to local reefing buddies, or swap for other coral :-) )
