I understand. I like to see the prices go up naturally, through legitimate bidding. Fraudulent bidding ruins the fun and excitement of the auction for a lot of folks. Not to mention, the prices of lords have come down dramatically in the past year. Just a year to a year and a half ago, that same lord would command over $2,000 (not from me, but from someone )

Hey, I could be practicing an excersize in futility with my report. But on the odd chance that this is a shill, maybe some good will come of it.

Yes for common indo lords. Those two lords on ebay are not indo lords and will continue to command top dollars unfortunately

They are beautiful. The first one is dazzling. I like the second one, but not nearly as much.
If we get enough people together I'm still game up until a predetermined, agreed upon limit.

Who's going to do the fragging if we are able to put this together?

The first colony looks like it's going to be hard to frag.

Lords arent to hard.
jap acan lord have very very large polyps. BUT you want them to close up as much as you can before fragging so that the most rock in between polyps is exposed...so tapping the polyps"shut" relly helsp show the border of rock in between each polyp. its a good tip for fragging lords.

The colony looks like it's round or dome shape as opposited to being flat and because of the round or domw shape there maybe a lot of rock underneath it. That's what going to make it hard to frag

Joe,

Shooting for both huh. Not a bad way to get your first two feedbacks from ebay. So much for buying small and ramping up.
Gotta say though, if you do win, I bet half of this board will be knocking your door down for frags!
