Times have changed - Very disappointing

If I buy anymore coral I will give Adam a try because he seems like a good guy and I like his musings.

I just got my first battlebox during the buddy gutz sale. I will not buy sps from anywhere else.

Prices went up which seemed temporary but seems likely to stay. The holidays always see an extra bump just to magically come down for Black Friday. Check those local hobbyists and club members. I know my overgrown coral beats even the best Black Friday deals.

Unfortunately most locals think they are all coral farmers and sell frags for more than big box stores. Real hobbyists selling overgrown corals from their display tank are becoming harder and harder to find.

Yea that's my biggest fear. First business says to support them during covid and be understanding that price has gone up. Then it's inflation. Then it's probably going to be recession. All that means is price will stay high because there will always be something. Now that prices have gone up, no business gonna drop their price if demand keeps up.

I don't really understand the labor shortage. If everything costs more now, how are people able to sustain without a job??? Shouldn't there be a labor surplus??

I really should have taken that macro economics class in college....

Everyone is getting paid from government, no need to work.

Lets take this back a couple of thousand notches... We're talking about MAP and holiday pricing, not politics.

I would like to see BRS scrap their 500,000 giveaway and just do some DEEP price cuts for a few days.

You have no idea how much “levels, Jerry!!!!levels” applies to my tank

Did they do it again this year? I just did an order of reagents and it said something free was shipping

i was not a fan of them last year’s huge giveaway. It was nice if you won, but think of how easily that sucked extra sales away from other stores that didn’t make it.

I'm gonna have to agree here. I just spent 6k with them and when everything arrived today I'm like 'that's it? I had to have gotten more' but I totally didn't.

Even bigger giveaway this year lol... I never saw a single report from the big giveaway winner last year.

I now want a battle box. It's on my list

Something yellow will be my only request. I see plenty of yellow on the site. Which is done very well. The box is very smart.

Now to convince my wife I need to spend $300 more. Tee hee

Buy now, explain later….

Did you get a scratch-off ticket? You gotta order that $6000 by ordering 30 times to get 30 chances lol. So stupid.

Considering all 7 of the little card codes I got were only $10 codes, I'm not sure there are 'big winners'...

On a side note, anyone want $10 BRS codes?

Just going to pass on this season and grab the essentials.

Oh, I had to break up my order this time so they could put it in boxes UPS would carry....

I didn't drop it in just 6k flat order

Haha was trying to edit on mobile and failed but a "period end of statement" would apply to your post!

Which brings us back to the original question which vendors can we trust to give fair pricing compared to bogus discounts?
