DBTC who'got one?

[JackoChang]

So I've been blown away by pricing since I've been here on R2R. I'm just curious who has a club DBTC? Don't break the chain. Basically it is a frag someone donates into the circle, the recipients grow out two frags and pass two more frags. Did I mention this is free? The idea originated with BAR, bay area reefers. I really don't think it will work in a national site like this one, but the local sites can greatly benefit. For example, I got a garf bonsai frag from the program. I grew it out and have two frags away. You can make it a trivia game, require the recipient to donate into the DBTC, first two to post, or whatever. There are categories from beginner (green palys) to extreme (JF crazy fox).

What happens to the colony you grew? You keep it! Yours to sell, trade, put in calcium reactor, give away...whatever your heart desires

Just think we the hobbyists are responsible for the ludicrous prices that are set. I understand some coral is worth more and the unwillingness to give away your precious $1000/eye frag. But you can also receive coral otherwise unattainable.

My club had 300+ DBTC frags at our last exchange.

Am I being unreasonable here?

something similar has been tried many times in my local area and there never ceases to be a failure in the chain somewhere- much simpler and less drama involved in simple buying and selling.

Not a bad idea at all though- I just wouldn't do it past the level of a few buddies who I know and trust- but I already do that with local guys anyways, I just call it trading.

Oh- and I disagree that the prices are 'ludicrous' the prices are what they are- if I want a nice piece, I can go buy it- if I can't, I don't. If all the prices were $10 across the boards, I'd have a much harder time going and finding the piece I really want- it'd be all gone.
