I'm tired of seeing "frag packs" at retailers

I prefer buying individually myself and I can wait until I find just the piece I'm looking for.

This is not gemstones. I could put five stones in my drawer and call it a day.

But I don't want to have to buy five corals when I want one or two.

Especially when they say they won't sell it to you cause there are no individual frags.

Ok. I keep money and spend it elsewhere. The competition. So does the vendor win by refusing to take a coral from his pack. Or did they just witness a customer leave with his money.

It's funny they prefer no sale over a happy customer that just walked out with a coral they desired.... And will probably return.
