Wondering what the heck happens behind the scenes, fish pricing is all over the map.
Edmonton has power blues for 60 bux and mysteries for 100. Calgary is 80 and 120 for the same fish. Pieces can double or triple the average cost on some fish, however have one fish that is 50 dollars cheaper then j&l..

It goes back to that old saying that something is only worth what someone else will pay for it. In this case the stores are pricing them at what they know they will likely get.
Things have changed in cycles over the years but for LFS's right now, seems to me Edmonton has more competition than Calgary does. Plus Calgary seems to have enough of a market share of people willing to just pay whatever in order to get what they want, maybe Edmonton has more discerning customers who do their homework..

my price on a juvie emperor angel was 79.99 while big als just right next door to us was 189.99..............huge difference, but after seeing this one would think i should mark the price up but its not like that ,not to us anyways, we took the cost plus all other costs and applied our retail markup which is the same for fish and for corals and the price was $80......no need to get greedy right i think youll find mark up on fish isnt regulated and is sure to change from store to store , as always its up to the consumer to shop for best prices and make their purchases based on knowlege learned. cheers denny concept aquatics

I seen that bck when I was 20, Ohh 20 years ago (dating myself I know) The Night Club I worked in had us change how we made Paralyzers. More coke than Milk. Cause milk was too expensive they said. I did the math. We lost lots of sales, mine included BC the Paralyzers tasted like crap. Then they said, well were not sellin and makin enough, we have to raise prices!. heres a concept, lower prices a little and get double the business!!!

It also depends on where you ship the fish in from. Indo fish are way cheaper then fish shipped in from other parts of the world, but unfortunately they are usually not as healthy. Also I know people who ordered the fish in Large size so they paid more up front for the fish but then when they got the fish it was small. There are also different fish at different times of the year that are easier or harder to get in which will affect the price.

Watching this really bad yet stupidly funny movie 'Idiocracy'
"If you have one bucket that holds 2 gallons, and another bucket that holds 5 gallons, how many buckets do you have"? |
