What coral(s) is extremely overpriced?

I'd say that the worst pricing is for BTAs.

I'd say that the worst pricing is for BTAs.

especially given how fast some of them split.

Nems and torches. I absolutely hate the naming of torches. A few years ago you could get a nice Aussie golf torch for $250 but now that it has a name it’s $500+

Zoas for the same reason.

 

[Chris Spaulding]

All of them.

A store tried selling me a majano for $100 plus shipping. I think that's the most overpriced anemone in the market right now

I can't believe the prices on branching cyphastrea lately....like it's some rare bird coral that's just amazing. I like it a lot but it's pretty basic. A lot of the "branching" styles seem to be climbing in price.

Acros obviously. I have a few, but god it drives me nuts. It's the same species they just add a breakfast cereal name and blast it with blue light and now it's 200 per inch.

TORCHES. Good lord, I haven't paid more than 65 per head for any of mine but I'm seeing CRAAAAAAAZY prices on some stuff. It does look like the NY Knicks is coming down though.

I try and buy from fellow reefers as much as possible. The coral shops are losing their minds.

Anything not bigger then a quarter and over $100

 

[RichReef]

Anything over $100. My limit used to be $40 but in all fairness I had to raise it.

inflation sucks

also what car are you in with a 8.92?

 

[Captmcfly]

Anything with a fancy trade name. It’s the same in the cannabis industry. Give something a street name and triple the price.

 

[steven325]

Anything with a name.

1973 Nova SS. 427 SBC.

Most are overpriced these days, they will continue to be as long as people are willing to spend the money.
the price of BTA’s are crazy also unless you buy locally from others, I paid a 100 for a RTBA decent size and now have 3 of them in less the 6 months.

 

[monkeyCmonkeyDo]

All of them

 

[bruno3047]

Holy Grail Torches. Absolutely ludicrous. Green Torches with a hint of gold. Give me a break with those ridiculous prices.

 

[blaxsun]

Xenias and green star polyps.

 

[BirdFish5000]

Anything starting with WWC

 

[TopClamSkoo]

Had to revive this one...
Yeah! what the heck!!!
I remember 40 -50 bucks would get u a big euphyllia colony.. then again that was 17 years ago... But still!!! If you do a rough estimate, a colony should cost about 100-120 in today's money
Then again, the demand for lps has grown. I remember back in 04-05, sps were the hot topic.
It doesn't help they started coming out with all these stupid names and social media def doesn't help with the pricing.
Sorry, just complaining.
