Wake up reefer?s stop bidding on frags from the unspeakable one. Your bidding on frags that are coming from our local reefers. The unspeakable one is going around buying frags from local reefer?s and selling them at an inflated price. As little as $10 a frag. Save your money just buy from the source. ( drop the mic)

The streets are talking (a good reporter never revels there source) just know it?s out there. They Know it I know it and now you will know it what you do with this piece of knowledge is up to you. A. Take the blue pill - You can keep bidding and buying $10 frags at a inflated price. B. Take red pill -Buy from the source and save your money.

If the source doesnt sell to the forum, then cant do much. Also, this is same practice buying from a wholesaler? They buy it low, sell at an inflated price. It is a hydra effect?

The retailer purchases goods from a local hobbyist that would otherwise have to deal with flakers or questionable buyers. Local reefer makes out.

Retailer has a good source to sell these goods and at a business cost. Dealing with logistics, overhead, employees, etc.

Unless you have the hookup to that source, you have no other option.

Thats just how i am looking at it.

If you watch the forum and see reefers selling there frags a few days later there all sold then the unnameable appears with an auction selling those same frags that were listed. The week before at a inflated price that were only $10 before. ( The truth is out there).

They got some pieces I haven't seen for sale by others on the forum. Yes their corals can be a bit pricey. But I recently just got some nice clowns from them for a decent price.

And they can afford to have higher prices, given their market is the entire US, not just this forum. That's the nature of having a website and slinging fish and coral as a full time business.

I've seen Kenny at shows before, he's a cool guy.

Yeah I view the marketplace here quite often, if not daily...I haven't seen of the frags he's selling posted there. If I had I probably would have inquired about them.

Feel free to reference any posts to back up your point. But I think you'll be hard pressed to find any.

Now maybe I would slightly agree that the pictures are probably taken under perfect lighting conditions or even altered...but I'm sure this is an advertising technique used by all the vendors. So I don't really fault them for that.

And I don't think monopoly is the term your looking for...its more like just conducting business.
