Honestly, prices would be nice to see in stores but I have never had any issue with rude employees, rediculas prices given when I ask or any of that sort of thing. I also have no problem telling employee that the price is whacked or there being a d***. There is one store in edmonton I will NEVER EVER walk through there door again simply because they ripped me off.

If I don't like a price I don't buy simple as that.

I stopped at one on my way home and even though the pricing wasn't noted, I got great service, 3 frags and a fish. Could have got more, frags are going in the 180 and a bit nervous, but for the price, thought it was worth a shot. The service is what keeps me going back!

I really didn't have a problem with no prices being marked when Red Coral was open, it allowed for grinding on my side. For some reason the additional store in Calgary seemed to keep prices in check, I have since seen a dramatic increase in the asking price of most pieces since Red Corals closure.

LFS in Calgary please stop trying to defend your high prices by telling me its rarer stuff from a different location, ITS THE SAME STUFF... Just 20-30 dollars more expensive than last time.

I, as well like to see pricing displayed on glass that you can see through! The store I "shop" at has each fish priced clearly, each coral frag priced clearly and the glass is clean...there is a lot to say for that in my opinion...I HATE asking prices, as it makes me uncomfortable, so appreciate the stores that clearly list them!

I think we need to start a new thread similar to the Random thoughts thread but call it 'That really grinds my gears'

They have MSRPs but you would never pay that. It is always assumed that you will immediately knock down the price even though the price is right there in front of you! And for the few people who do walk into Soundsaround and actually do pay MSRP, well then the store gets a little extra money out of you for not bartering.

noticed this the other day , i guess your back eh:P
