I think you're going to have a hard time finding some one to pay $800 for a large Duncan colony, even at less than $8 a head. It probably would be best to frag it into pieces and sell it that way.

I don't understand MR sometimes.....Just because this coral isn't a "Tyree" or a "Jason Fox" or "Cornbread" it looses it's value. Just because its not a "Limited Edition - Super Duper Ultra Rad Tad Duncan" it apparently isn't worth the water it's in ??.... If I had something bigger than a RSM 130 I'd consider it but I'm already stocked to the rim lol .... GLWS - Admittedly you could drop the price a little...like 7 a head but beyond that would be giving it away since stores charge 15/16ish

It has nothing to do with the coral not having a "Name", or not being a "Limited Edition", it has to do with the price not being realistic. Most people will paid $10-$15 a head for a Duncan, for say 3 or 4 heads, but when the price of the corals get high, around $100+, most people don't want to spend that much for the coral, even if it's a large colony or they're getting a reduced price per head. For the price that was listed the corals isn't going to sell, it's just not realistic. As a matter of fact I brought 2 large colonies of Duncans, both larger than what is being offered, and for one I paid less than $100, while the other I paid slightly over $120, and that was when Duncans first started coming around. In the end this doesn't have anything to do with MR, if it did then I suggest the seller take the coral and sell it some where else.

i agree the colony is worth a lot what i think marrone was trying to get at is that is a lot of money to shell out on a single colony even though it is worth that amount, a lot of people here look for good deals on small frags and small colonies to let them grow out into their tank. A lot of people here more than likely don't have $800 to spend on one single piece of coral granted its large size even if its a hard to find or rare coral if its a rare coral its another story though. If it were me I would either piece it out to get the full price of what its worth or maybe try and find some rich collector with a massive tank and no price limit if you want to sell as a whole. No one here is saying that your colony is not worth the price its just going to be difficult to sell

As the seller I have no problem saying I understand what you're saying, however I just don't agree.

As for 10-15 a head at 3 to 4 heads... i've personally seen in stores and privately 10 - 15 a head all the way up to 20 heads.

This particular colony was originally bought at 10 heads for 25 a head... that's when duncans first made their explosion into the market. when people were labeling them "Australian" to jack the price up - to my understand all duncans come from Australia I may be wrong in this statement but i've heard it from more than source in more than one region of the country....so the labeling of "Australian" is null and void...

Regardles I'm recognizing that it's big colony and trying to be fair by putting a reduced price compared to your "store" 10-15 and putting it at 8...which on the high end is nearly half and on the low end is still 20% off "store" price.

Also I would like to point out that I did say I was negotiable on the price.... i'm not trying to make this a side business OR a get rich quick sale...like many others i've seen along the way on various forums. Just looking for a legitimate offer.

As for you buying colonies for the prices you have...thats fantastic and I sincerely congratulate you on finding such an great deal. Deals come by from time to time when people don't know the value...or looking to just dump whatever coral they have...or want to share the hobby at an very very cheap price because money is of no object (sadly this one is not me)....anyways my point is people do insanely amazing deals for a number of reasons. This isn't one of those "give away for nothing" sales.

I'm sorry if this offends anyone who reads this...it's not my intention to offend anyone...but i think less than 8 (although its not much less) is a fair starting ground for a sale.

furthermore I just want to say that I absolutely appreciate the PM's with both sales advice and support.

 

[JMar101786]

OK... so i wrote all that prior to reading Brunoboarder's post....

I get that some people here don't have a lot of money...trust me...i am in no way claiming to be someone with a bottomless pocket...i'm right there with the everyone else looking to claim they found the best buy in the world...or just a really great deal.

I simply posted on here as a possible way to sell this piece

once again i want to say it's not that i dont appreciate all the advice and support....i definitely do.

 

[brunoboarder2444]

the colony is fully worth the price asked i didnt mean to come off as nasty or attacking if thats how it came off, i am not offended by anything and have seen small frags of it go for much more per head than what you are asking that being said to keep yourself from being ripped off you may want to frag to get full price or maybe if not frag out each head maybe knock it down to 20 or so heads on each frag and maybe try to sell it that way and believe me i know the lfs charge much more ive seen duncan with 3 or 4 heads for for like $80-$85 its just going to be tough to find someone with enough loose change around to be able to buy such a large colony for that much money...if you arent looking to off it asap i would try posting around on a few forums not just this one and see if you can find a buyer or else i would imagine a lot of low ballers offering like $200 or so for it or you may ultimately have to wind up fragging it out

not a problem advice is what a forum is about im not trying to jerk you around just trying to help another guy out

 

[JMar101786]

I appreciate you clearing that up...i'm certainly not taking offense...just somewhat feel like i'm on trial lol

I am open to cutting it up into smaller "mini colonies" if the interest is there.

Just figured i'd offer it as a whole first due to the beauty (for lack of a better word) of a colony mature enough to grow to this size instead of some small frag


Once again if anyone has read this far and they are interested in a frag of it...please pm with amount of heads and a legitimate offer.

sorry for the misunderstanding, a few smaller colonies may be a better choice if not wanting to completely frag individually

 

[Meadowlane]

How's the care level on those? If their easy ill get 10 heads

 

[brunoboarder2444]

If there is no interest in the 2 approx 55 head colonies I am willing to cut down to approx 25+ heads, but I really want to avoid cutting smaller than that.

Thanks

sorry to hear, hopefully someone will pick them up, it'd be rough to tear apart a colony like that

 

[plateboy3293]

Any trades?? Just wondering

 

[ajm99835]

Bump!

 

[JMar101786]

I am willing to trade for the right offer...PM me with one please

Speaking of trades I'm looking for a MP40 if anyone wants to trade for a negotiated amount of heads

 

[noelskii]

you should just keep it. it looks good!
