Comments on: “My Miami” Chalice Frag over $1800 up on eBay http://reefbuilders.com/2009/10/13/my-miami-chalice-frag-1800-ebay/ Sat, 20 Mar 2010 03:05:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jon C. http://reefbuilders.com/2009/10/13/my-miami-chalice-frag-1800-ebay/comment-page-1/#comment-7970 Jon C. Sat, 17 Oct 2009 08:41:15 +0000 http://www.reefbuilders.com/?p=10939#comment-7970 Wow... I love how this mediocre looking coral got EVERYONE talking! I've seen this coral in person at Macna, and to be honest... it's nice, but DEFINATLY not $2,000+ nice. A lot of people say "It's not his fault, he started the bidding at $0.99"- well, those people fail to realize that the seller ever-so-coincedentally hyped it up on seven different forums. +1 to the comment about Hugo/Tyree's Watermelon. Can't WAIT for this stupid trend to be over! :D Wow… I love how this mediocre looking coral got EVERYONE talking!

Thus the X***X in the bid history. I still say it's BS. Gonzo has these on his site for $100/eye. I found bunches for under $200. Ok so ebay hides bidder info. Thus the X***X in the bid history.

They are all X***X and all but 1 has less than 50 feedbacks. Sounds to me like someone is blowing their own horn. Ok so I looked at the bid history.

I paid $110 for a 3 eye frag of Tyree Pink Watermelon from the original source and its WAY nicer looking than that could ever be. But, as already said, if someone is willing to pay it then I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Thats a joke. $1800 for that chalice is just stupid.

That or someone is wayyyy to addicted to corals which are more common than they realize. I think this auction is being misunderstood by the bidders.
