I have many mushrooms in my tank that were free as well but I claimed them. I was just thinking since my sun coral was so tiny maybe the price would be different.

Ok, all I really want to know then is:

I have a 4"+ mushroom that I got for free. Budget claims I have to claim it as $15. So what do I claim then? Free? $15? $10? $7.59?

We also said that no coral/livestock is Free. Therefore, it falls under the price list (or JL / LA).

Ok so LS goes by LA and J and L.

Corals are priced by the list you provided.

If thats it, it seems pretty black and white to me. Just wanted to clear it up as Im trying to figure out what Im putting in my tank.

I believe the system has a small flaw. From what I understand the good deal can also be applied for livestock but you can't get anything for free. If you were to pay a small amount for those mushrooms and get a receipt I think that's allowed but a receipt for $0 won't fly. At least that's how I understand it, if you call that understanding.

it is my understanding we are to use the price list for all. there is no such thing as a good deal on LS as this is supposed to be figured at a Fair Market Value.

Snappy gave me an insane deal and i have used prices listed on the other page. the only deals i thought we were allowed to use were on used hardware. all LS is matched to either JL or LA websites. ???

????????????????????????????

Agreed, atleast this will maintain some consistency. I could get receipts coming out of everywhere saying a paid so and so for a mushroom. Unfair for one person to pay $1 when the other will pay the posted price of $5.

items on which you scored a "good deal"- If you can provide proof of the price you got, cost will be figured at the actual price you paid. If it was a transaction with a private individual, have them hand-write you a receipt, scan it, and post it on your thread.

If you purchase something at a steal of a deal from a Canreef.com vendors you do not have to deal with 'fair market value' etc. Example: Sponsor X regularly has 50% off or buy one get one specials that are available to Canreef.com members, so if you pay $10 and get 2 pieces that normally would cost $20, you only pay the $10. This is in hopes that some vendors will want to have specials aimed specifically at this contest.
Nothing here saying it doesn't apply to livestock. The second one refers to "pieces" so I would assume that one is actually talking more about livestock.

It is based on the honor system so if you truthfully got a better deal than someone else that's just life, isn't it?
