Originally I had suggested something along the lines of the following and we had some mixed reviews. So this is your chance to say something.

e.g.
-$5 small colony of regular zoas, under 15 heads
-$10 small colony of special rare zoas, or regular zoos that are 15-50 heads.
-$10 small SPS frag, under 2"
-$15 SPS frag from 2"-5"
-$20 SPS from 5"-15"
-$30 small clam, under 3.5"
-$15 small softie, e.g. leather, xenia
-$20 large softie
-$15 small LPS, e.g. hammer
-$20 large LPS
- ? specialty items, aussie acans, suncorals, dendros, etc.

I think a basic list for non-specialty things will make the process a lot simpler.

1) Do we still want to go with a basic list?
2) Prices should stay here, go up, go down?
3) What else should be on the basic list?

Once we have an idea of the basic list I'll be able to better reply to the PMs I've gotten about pricing.

Well while ive been gone i see there are lots of posts. had a bit of a time catching up. the who price change and rechange was new to me. and believe it or not i think i may have a decent idea. i was looking around and i have seen no prices on CUCs. i was just wondering if perhaps we wanted to set a flat rate for things like hermits, snails and such. just and idea.

Marg snail 1.5
sm turbo 2
lg turbo 3.5
red hermit 1
blue hermit .75
sand sifting star 5
astria snail 1.75.

??????????????????????????/

Would we not post the prices on a CUC as the actual prices we paid when we went and bought new ones?

I paid $1.99 for a Blue legged hermit crab, so that's what I posted.

I think you're suppose to go by J&L pricing for CUC
