I understand Denny. But are you ok sending a customer to Wai's instead of selling something to them? I did see you would try to accommodate the sale, but this was not the case for me. Twice. At other shops of course.
Denny you straight shooter. Lol. I know bulk sells. But I'm willing to buy at the "higher" price for one... That's good for you. As a retailer you could easily stick something else in to replace it. Quote:

If you don't like the way they are doing business then don't do business. If it impacts them they will change and then you're happy. If it doesn't then it's a reality that you'll have to accept.
Just let it go man.

If they needed the business, they would change. They might view you (OP) now as a troublesome customer and your couple of bucks isn't worth accommodating you. Sometimes sellers are quite happy never to see particular customers again. |

the way i see it is ive been in those shoes , hell i still am all the time lol just the other day i seen a coral i wanted but i didnt need 30polyps at $40 a polyp and the seller wouldnt split them up so i simply passed on it , what bugs me is it sold that same day lol i guess it comes down to the seller , what he or she does and then theres the buyer , not always are we going to see eye to eye but we need each other and im sure most will help or do what they can to see their customers happy. at the end of the day not everything is readily available and the stores, collectors and wholesalers know this , we all have internet and know the market........and for the record the market isnt friendly lol the harsh reality is things often go to those who are willing to spend or buy what they need to in order to have the piece they want , it sucks ill agree but its a buyer makes the market world . i hate the high per polyp prices , sure i sell but i also have to buy and its the same on all fronts , an easy fix is for the market to say ive had enough and prices will go down , but the market is to large and its tooth and claw for the nicest stuff and and the end the cashola runs the world |

Maybe ill clarify something that people seem to be missing.
I never once made a bad comment about any retailer. I simply do not like a practice that's out there. Yet I'm taking shots from some people. Try be objective instead of attacking me. Let me repeat myself. I have no problems with the store, the products or the people. Only. ONLY the frag pack incidents I encountered. Not once did I argue or attack the stores doing this. Which is most. I simply have a frustration.

I haven't seen anyone taking shots at you. Just because people don't agree with you doesn't mean they are taking a shot at you.

It seems a few comments are made to cause a controversy. If I misunderstand being referred to as troublesome or another sarcastic comment. Sorry.

I kind of like the frag packs, if I'm getting it at a price where I can chuck a couple away if I don't like them.
From a the point of view of someone who sells corals from time to time it makes sense as well. I lot of times I'll advertise a coral for sale, exchange a few PMs, then a half a dozen texts only to have the guy back out or just not show up. This is my just hobby, I work full time and sometimes it feels like it's not worth the trouble for $20, so I just throw away a lot of my cuttings (don't tell my wife). Thinking about going to frag packs in the future... always open to sell singles to a guy who's easy to work with. |
