Dealing with sellers LOL!

I don't normally post in the Lounge, but this is quite funny.

Hey there, I am interested in taking all your live rock if the price is right. Please let me know what you would like for it. Cheers!

well all the rock is tonga rock and is covered in polyps and pulsing xenia. i have about 110lbs. what were you thinking for a price?

Hey... Do you have pictures? I don't want any polyps or xenia...I wondering how much of it is covered. It's your rock, you name the price. :)

I have pics online. after that, if you are serious. come see. I would probably want around $900 cash for this rock, considering that it has polyps and xenia on it, covered in coraline, no aiptasia, and that it is all tonga, plus no taxes. This is an amazing deal.

You want almost $9/lb? Sorry, but that is not an amazing deal at all. Many people would find rock covered in polyps and xenia a detriment as I do. Thanks for your time. :)

okay, well have fun searching, and when you are done call me, cause you obviously know NOTHING about salt water aquaria. like the majority of people in kelowna. stupid. seriously, thankyou for a good laugh tonight. haha

:lol:

Omg....wow!

[saltynuts]

thats nice. i would deal with him anytime. lol

[lastlight]

Yeah but keep in mind this live rock is at least TWICE as alive as your standard live rock =) Hence the price.

[Myka]

Hey at least both me and him got a good laugh. :lol:

Oh, thanks for pointing that out lastlight!! I will have to go check it out now. :p

[xtreme]

Too funny.:lol:

Agreed. You'd have to pay me 9/lb to take rock with xenia on it!! :)

[sphelps]

Agreed. You'd have to pay me 9/lb to take rock with xenia on it!! :)
Well said, but even then I personally wouldn't even take it. This guy must be one of those experts I keep hearing about.

Well, if they pay you 9/lb, you can then turn around and sell it for another 4/lb to someone that likes xenia! :)

:pound: Sounds like a plan. :mrgreen:

[Murminator]

I sell you my polyp/xenia covered rocks for $8 a pound X 170lbs....IT is A WAY BETTER DEAL !!!....and I will throw in a ton of apatasia free



.......and if you knew something about salt water aquaria you won't be calling me either :razz:

[brizzo]

Was the seller's name Tyler? :razz:

[Aquattro]

Was the seller's name Tyler? :razz:

Their name really isn't important, is it?

[whatcaneyedo]

Everyone is a self proclaimed expert. :lol:

[brizzo]

It was rhetorical :lol:

I've had the same problem as Myka lately. We've both been trying to buy rock, or full setups for the rock..

Seem the other trouble is people with ~40lbs of rock, seem to think it's actually 100. I dunno about you, but it would sure be hard to fit 100 pounds of rock in a 33 gallon.. Wonder which LFS @ $13/pound...

[banditpowdercoat]

Total Pet in kamloops has rock $13.99/Lb I thought, what a deal LOL

[Aquattro]

I paid 18/pound for my first batch of live rock, although it was covered in a lot more life than you'd ever see these days. and this was 15 years ago! sure glad the price has come down! :)

[Chowder]

Yup.

[Myka]

Bumping it up for someone in particular? ;)
