I know without seeing it one can't be certain. But do those "in the know" THINK these are really being tank bred? BTW, if I needed more political opinions on the current world situation this wouldn't be the place I'd come to. :roll: SteveU

The problem is just because it's called one of those doesn't make it so. SteveU

Well from the replies to that linked thread it appears it's like everything else now. Just ship one off to China and have them make them for you. :lol: SteveU

Tank breed supposedly in this case.

So which do you think is happening in this case? SteveU

Sorry, the industry must have a definition but I'm not sure what it is. As a hobbyist I don't think of tank raised and tank breed being the same. SteveU

I came here because I saw that post as well. Isn't there a difference between tank breed and tank raised? That statement though could just be a language issue. SteveU

Actually it's the drygoods suppliers that are making up the difference in the livestock margins. If these guys only knew how to stick to there own price sheets they could make some money. :lol: They set the retail price of their own products with the discounts they offer. The B&M does'nt nor...

I think at least some hobby related companies have been practicing advertised price guidance for some time. I think that's where their control ends. So as an etailer, like B&M I think you have a right to sell at any price. You just need to get them in the front door first. :lol: SteveU

You mean to tell me they won't even do it for money? There is hope now I see. SteveU

Thanks, I had heard something was in the works but a search turned up nothing. And yes, the question was directed at what would traditionally be considered non-food items. SteveU

Is there legislation in the works that would require contents of hobby remedies/supplements be disclosed via labeling? SteveU

Hard to get most of those hobbyists to spend low-ball retail on one piece of coral so I was so looking forward to someone working out the details of a 300 piece, $4,500.00 coral order full of "that's not what I ordered". :lol: SteveU

They have so few products left to market and no sales force to go along with it. :lol: SteveU

I think a few manufactuers are seing the effects of the pricing stuctures they've created. The value (perceived or otherwise) has eroded in many cases to the point that there's not enough profit in the product to warrant even invoicing it (or ringing it up). SteveU
