Default How much are you willing to spend on an amazing frag?

It can be a frag of anything, rare, colorful but it is a piece you must have. i would be close to $200, but i would have to stare at it for an hour and sweat alot but i would be probably grab it if it was an awesome frag.

If it's something I just have to have then it is worth the money, whatever that might be.

I'm cheap . If it's just a frag then I don't think I would spend more then $50.

I'm cheap as well, $50 tops (maybe that's why my tank leans to-wards tan as the predominate colour).

If it was really nice and I really wanted it...I'd have to say I'd pay whatever was asked....(and if I could keep it alive "for sure")

I think we may be on to something here, I used to feel the same way but eventually came to realize that seldom do I get lucky on a cheap piece and generally I get what I pay for.

I think $50 for a frag is good price considering most people sell frags for $15-20. Perhaps if the frag is 5" then yes i would pay more then $50.

But what do i know; someone will pay 100 million for a peace of canvas with equally spread oil on it !
So things worth as much as people willing to pay. If you want this frag so bad and have $200 to spend on it ... cool, go ahead.

If I know it will live, then I am willing to pay more.

Also, if I knew it would grow fast then I could eaily recoup some cost by frag trading.

Just my opinion but, I find the hobby in general rather expensive so my wallet cant justify paying to much more than $50 for a wee chunk of something. I have recently seen some stores asking $50 for A zoa polyp.That to me seems a touch excessive. Speaking of excessive, $50 for a 5" f@g? Thats excessive.
