Alright here's one for ya. I won $1000.00 from wwc. I gave them a list of frags I wanted, guess how many I got? How many frags would that have gotten one in 2014?

In this climate, I'd say 2-4... in 2014 I'd say 15-25...Alright here's one for ya. I won $1000.00 from wwc. I gave them a list of frags I wanted, guess how many I got? How many frags would that have gotten one in 2014?
This seems 'ok' - unless you're one of the people that buys a fist sized piece of coral - and sells tips for 50$ - Note - actually I'm ok with you selling for whatever you want - Not slamming you at all - im just pointing out that depending on the size you're selling - others may object to this 'methodology'I usually sell frags for at least 50% of what I paid for the coral. So if I buy a frag for $100 you’ll get a piece for $50
I'm curious (By the way calling someone clueless seems a bit strong)- but - besides regulated industries or examples of price fixing - can you give an example of where supply and demand does NOT dictate prices?You are clueless if you think all markets are "free markets" and that purely supply and demand dictates prices.
Sorry to say.

Oh joy .... another ‘vendors charge too much’ thread. I have neither the energy nor the desire to read all four pages. Has anyone made any points that haven’t been thrashed through in the last 10 threads on the subject. Supply is constrained .... demand goes up = higher prices. Plenty of places to get inexpensive frags .... unless you wish to be a victim of silly marketing.
Reefing is not an inexpensive hobby, never has been. Doesn’t have to be the exclusive domain of rich men (and women!) though.

I thought there was something wrong with the forum, it's been at least 5 days since we had a "prices are too darn high" thread I agree this hobby does not have the lowest cost of entry or participation. I wonder if aviation or equestrian forums have similar threads with such frequency.
Dude, I can go to the WWC website right now and get a bunch of frags for 1k.... You people need to leave the hobby. It's not cheap.
I reported this comment, and seriously don't put words in my mouth or speak on my behalf.Nope, he can't

It's not too far fetched, although I wouldn't say that it is manipulation through industry collusion, but more in line with creating a narrative that is parroted enough that eventually will be construed as truth.Does anyone really think price fixing is driving coral frag prices .... I enjoy chuckling at a good old conspiracy theory as much as the next curmudgeon .... but I do not.
