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

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.

I chose $50 but realistically I don't like to spend more than $30. Not because I'm cheep (I think), I sort of base the value of the frag on the value of the colony it came from. I'm mean, we are talking about frags here, not entire colonies.

Id pretty much hand over my first born for the right one.

Heh j/k, however, I would pay whatever amount it took to get a piece that i wanted.

Most expensive @ 100.00 for 1" (incredible hulk acro)

To me, you cannot compare it based on what it cost as a wild or cultured colony. If i spotted one that i find more valueable than my others, based on any criteria, i will price it accordingly...you certainly may not find it so, therefore theres no need to for you to buy it.

Its like hockey cards or old comics to me, none of them truly have any more value than the paper they were printed on, but something made them much more valueable, the collectors and hobbiests did.
Collecting unique or rare ones to me are a hobby all by itself.

depends on size but a frag is usually small so $50 is the number
