xelanem Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 This Nem is on ebay for $9,999.00. The only thing I can say is why. Why? why is it so much? The price seems like a joke to me. Link to comment
ZX6Reefer Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Wow, that is nice! The price is absurd, but if someone out there has the disposable income then all the better for them. If I had millions of dollars I wouldn't worry about trivial things like cost. Link to comment
xelanem Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 I think that the price is insulting. The guy says in the auction that he has had the nem for 5 years and only releases 1 per year which is even more insulting. Stop hoarding a beautiful morph and let the rest of the reefkeeping community that isn't Bruce Wayne enjoy it Link to comment
Formula462 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 it's not even all that... Link to comment
patback Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 +1 to not beig all that. The sunburst on here for 200 is 1000 times more appealing. Link to comment
xelanem Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 The sunburst is a lot more amazing and the price is great. Now if I can just get Xavier to ship it to me I'll be a happy camper! Link to comment
kevin_f Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 The sunburst is a lot more amazing and the price is great. Now if I can just get Xavier to ship it to me I'll be a happy camper! lol, we seem to be going for the same one :0 Link to comment
xelanem Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 I will fight you for it. Now lets square up and settle this like men! This is the second one I've seen up for sale with no shipping since I've been looking for one. Someone please ship a sunburst! Link to comment
patback Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 If I was the seller of an anenome over 150 bucks, not only would I not ship, the buyer would need to come and put his own hands in my tank and take it off the rocks. If anything were to happen to a sensitive animal like a nem, I don't want any of the blame being on me. Link to comment

The RBTA I picked up from a local reefer a month ago bleached out within a few days of me having it. A week later I got a nice deal on a Rainbow BTA from a All Clear on here that was shipped from CA to NJ overnight . That nem is doing great(go figure). The Bleached nem is doing great, just needs to get it's color back! http://fish.is-lost.org:1024/ name: user pw: user (lights are just starting to ramp up now) Link to comment
dormreefer Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I can't help but think this is a way for him to advertise his business and website. A 10k dollar Anemone will get people talking. Unless other serious sellers actually pay the money as an investment Link to comment
xelanem Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Either way the price is outrageous and I don't like it. Link to comment
xelanem Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 so Kevin, it seems you have won this round. You will rue the day you crossed me. Link to comment
19jeffro83 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I like the anemone. Though not for 10000 or anything close to it. Link to comment
fretfreak13 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 so Kevin, it seems you have won this round. You will rue the day you crossed me. Ahaha I was following that sale thread just to drool over the nem. xD Found this after. Link to comment

Thankfully we live in a society where you can price anything however you want. It's called supply and demand. Link to comment
xelanem Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 Wanting someone to share a nem morph hardly seems like communism, I understand supply and demand but the price is still ridiculous. I didn't say everyone is entitled to that morph only that it is selfish to supply one per year and demand the crazy price. Link to comment
xelanem Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 And since we've already gone there, I'm by no means a communist or socialist but that same society, our society has also allowed for politicians and corporations to circumvent law and do whatever they please. Link to comment
slickwill613 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Sounds communistic. Thankfully we live in a society where you can price anything however you want. It's called supply and demand. Pshhhhh, quit reading that Ayn Rand junk. Link to comment
Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Imagine if you purchase it and then it splits, wouldn't then you have $9,999.00 x two = $19,998.00 Link to comment
xelanem Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 you would if you also wanted to charge a ridiculous price. The point is not that we live in a country ruled by supply and demand so you can do what you want, its that the price is completely out of touch with the rest of the hobby and people in it, not many can afford that price and even if they could why would you take a ten grand chance on any nem. You wouldn't because it's stupidity. Link to comment

xelanem Posted September 25, 2012 Author Share Posted September 25, 2012 LFS suck at fish and at life in general in my experience, and there high prices suck even more. Link to comment
kevin_f Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 so Kevin, it seems you have won this round. You will rue the day you crossed me. lol. I will take pictures for you! Ahaha I was following that sale thread just to drool over the nem. xD Found this after. Link to comment
