Just want to share some experience and hope new reefers out there learn. Wanted to get a fish and was informed by a kind bro here that the price is $85 for a small one and $100 for big one. Decided to go down and take a look at the fish. Prior to my visit, a bro went ahead and gotten the fish at the price stated(plus minus). Therefore, i was kind of interested to get one also. Went to the shop and was told $120 for all sizes. Was told shipment charge went up, etc and later given a discount price of $100.
I understand in this trade, it is willing buyer and willing seller but i find the inconsistency in pricing turned me off. I can understand for regulars tend to enjoy better discount, no doubt, and think is reasonable but for my experience, not the first time i get this kind of unpleasant experience. I also support paying premium to get better quality fishes but just cannot accept inconsistency pricing. Hence, for newbie, do your research and decide in your purchase. Happy reefing.
