Somehow I suspect you will get a fair bit more than $100 as the final bid

I share your hope!!! That being said the market will dictate a fair market price.

While the recent flooding of the market with $10 frags has perhaps lowered the bar, I am somewhat confident at least a couple people will appreciate the value associated with a little higher quality.

9/10 chance a repeat customer wins the auction? I think so.

You know I don't have any friends on this board...no need to lie about that

And the winner does not get a reduced price if shipping is not required - that being said all winners have been out of province to date. No reason this will not continue.

They're here! UPS guy showed up a little early at about 10:15AM but that was fine.

Packed nice and neat. A little bit of seepage but no big deal:



All 14 frags being acclimated. Only two had fallen off of their frag discs during shipping but since it's all zoas and palys which ship about as well as any coral I wasn't worried:


A few quick badly focused freehand shots of everything which all opened up within several hours (ignore the majano frag on the bottom right of the group shot ). Most of them were less frags than mini-colonies!










The only negative was that there were several aiptasia who hitched along, but that's not a huge deal.

Thanks to wickedfrags for a truly wicked deal!

Very nice!! Can't wait for the SPS auction!! Mostly just because I want to see what there is...bad timing for me to participate, and by the sounds of it, it won't be a cheapie collection!

Thanks for the pictures and the feedback Franklin. Think this is useful for people who may be interested in participating in future auctions.

Glad to see the little sunset with the polyps out so quickly.
