I have no dog in this fight, and it’s getting a bit snippy in here. But you just hit the buyer mentality nail on the head as to how they may be missing the boat, and I have YEARS of consumer pricing experience. S-enid $200 on two corals is one thing. Spending $210 for 4, with two at $100 and two at $5, is far different. Even if those $5 are far lower quality, it justifies it in your mind. And even more so if justifying for a spouse. They are missing out by not making the $5-$10 corals more widely available.

That is a fact. Period.

Last post on this so I don't miss the power hour. I would rather spend $120 on 4 quality corals, than $210 on 2 nice ones and 2 low quality $5 ones.

We're not exactly waiting on $1 corals. We sure do take them as they come though. Ive spent almost $900 on 11 corals in 2 days.

We're just a bunch of junkies looking for a fix and conversing over a mutual interest.

If anything, you're the one getting big mad about the cheap stuff, being rude, and hostile
Not sure I’m getting hostile… I saw an advertisement for 5$ frags, I feel that is misleading. Don’t like it? That is fine.

I work in sales. While that explanation isn't wrong... I'd still take 4 frags for $210 vs 2 for $200 when I have an empty tank to fill.

As an example (in my line of work)

Would you take an iPhone 13 for $800, or would you take an iPhone 13 and an iPad for $800?

I think you’re agreeing with me. Can’t tell. :) pretty sure we are saying the same thing.
