Hmmm...

How about, "no."

Yeah, I think I'm gonna go with "no" as my final answer.

$3K for a "bug"......

I might watch this one just to see if someone buys it

phanizzle · 04-07-2008, 11:12 AM

see this on ebay, he should seriously drop his prices. Even his lower grades are expensive.

littlecobra1977 · 04-07-2008, 11:41 AM

I think for that price he should hand deliver it and give the buy like OH say a 10 year health garrentee. I would have to go with the final answer of "NO" as well. Just MO.

OOOOOH - I've been looking for that . . .

Seriously - who else would sell you just one shrimp? Everyone wants to sell them in groups of five or ten. If you need it for a nano and want to make sure it can't reproduce (after all - who wants a shrimp colony taking over a nano anyway . . .

) what else can you do.

Gotta go check my Paypal limit

**MrJG** · 04-07-2008, 02:04 PM

Seriously guys you give him too much grief. He is offering free shipping.

I had to watch this in eBay too... I wouldn't think anyone would pay that much right?

**macclellan** · 04-07-2008, 02:58 PM

Plain old CRS look much better than the supposedly "high grade" varieties with more and more white, which are just plain fugly. Regardless of cost, I'd take straight "S" grades over any of these ridiculously priced and uglier golden shrimp. Obviously, that's just me though.

Dwarfpufferfish · 04-07-2008, 04:56 PM

Macclellan,
I 100% agree with you! A nice S grade CRS looks soooooooooooo much better than this "$3000.00" one. I love the stripes, I dont really like the all white with a speck of red! I guess that is why I have never really got into CRS very much!

**bharada** · 04-07-2008, 05:10 PM

Well, one breeder's culls is another one's "next generation must see" grade.

**oblongshrimp** · 04-07-2008, 06:10 PM

lol nice looking shrimp but very expensive....

**milalic** · 04-07-2008, 06:19 PM

**MrJG** · 04-07-2008, 06:34 PM

What if it dies while in your possesion? Will you have to take out an insurance policy? Would the insurance company need to investigate the circumstances of death before paying out?

I don't think he expects to sell it. However, I think he got exactly what he wanted. It's kinda like name branding. Aren't we talking about it, spreading the news...for him...umm for FREE?

**oblongshrimp** · 04-07-2008, 08:06 PM

but if no one is buying it whats the point.
