+1 This is an expensive hobby. If you don't want to spend money on high price corals. than just go for the GSP or the freebie. Most hobbies sell their Bounce mushroom at least $500 for quarter size and this is 3" bounce mushroom for retail store price $650. This is really good price. By the way, if you're able to find a $30 for bounce mushroom from a wholeSeller, let know know, I will buy all their bounce mushrooms. For $30, It is not even cover the shipping fee.
Yes I am sure the store marked the item as sold when it really wasn't just to mess with you.
Not sure why you are so angered by this thread. Even more confused why you continue to bash a good store because you don't like the price of an item. This is an expensive hobby. Items range in price from $1 to $10,000. Nobody is forcing you to buy it. Clearly somebody thought it was a good price and bought it.
I actually think it is admirable of NYRA to take a risk and bring in high end items (which might not be found at other stores) for customers who want them. Just my two cents. Have a nice day.
