$1K per polyp? Absolutely go for it!!!! That is what being an American is all about! Capitolism at it's finest!
Just like classic muscle cars I can no longer afford to buy and restore/sell. Junk cars cost $20k, nice cars $60K and up! What is any of these items really worth? Only what some one will pay for it!
Why do people pay $2mil for a one of Cuda Hemi Convertible when you can clone one for $70K that looks exactly the same? Get it? The answer is because they can so they do. Same here!
I gaurantee you someone has payed $600 for an Orange Envy. If you post that thing for $1K long enough someone will probably buy it! That is just the way it is. God Bless America!!!
I have not seen anyone post a picture of the "armageddon" morph that looked just like it so far... lets see this so called orange colored armageddon. These are not armageddons.
These have a much different color than armageddons. This should be pretty obvious by the fact that as soon as Gooch seen the picture he recongized them right of the way. He did not see them in my tank but a friend of mines tank. They are truely the nicest colored orange zoanthids I have seen.
OK Chad,
I didn't do anything but correct the fading/contrast/noise in your pic. Here it is and I could not see any color change in the pic so these are the color they look like. They are orange.
Alot of red color will turn orange if they are over illuminated. Have these ever changed in color? You know, from tank to tank?
The fact that my picture was not altered at all is a statement in itself! in your little experiment you can't even make out the sand in the picture... I do not believe that you should have to photoshop a nice coral like that to change what it truely looks like as I have stated before. The price is set and $1000 take it or leave it but that is what it is!
Whether they're the same or not, $1000 is till rediculous. Whether rare or not, $1000 is still rediculous. But, like someone said, some fool will probably buy it and then I'm sure the seller will make back all of his money and then some for 1 polyp...if not and the seller spent more than that for one, then that is even worse.
However, by the seller's justification, the fact that only 4 or 5 people have them in their tanks doesn't justify the price. I'm sure there's stuff in alot of people's tanks that you can only find in a few places because of all the morphs, but that doesn't mean that we can charge whatever we want for them. If you look at the Shiznits which are nearly impossible to find and according to one online vendor were thought to be gone in the hobby, they sell for much less than that for 5 polyps, and imo are way more attractive.
