Pies Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I brought mine from Jansens in 2002, when yellow tangs were $200.00ea and no coral was under $100.00. Prices have changed in recent years, particualary with JetSkiSteve importing and helping keep prices in check. As for being riped? Thanks for pointing that out. Why did you ask or did you just want to riducle people who paid more than you? pfft. Pie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lduncan Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Prices have changed in recent years, particualary with JetSkiSteve importing and helping keep prices in check. Pie It kind of annoys me when I read that. The primary reason why prices in Auckland are no longer as high as they were is because Petworld in Christchurch are no longer supplying them. That was the cause of the high prices seen up there a few years ago. Both Alois and Steve have helped bring prices down to match other areas (Christchurch in particular). But the insinuations I read on this forum seem to credit Steve/Nick single-handedly for the price drops in Auck over the last few years, I don't think that's true at all.

Pies Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Layton - I've watched prices drop significantly since Steve/Nick have been importing. Maybee there are more factors in it than just them I don't know but things have never been so good as they are are now since I started buying stuff in 2000. There are threads on this site with comments from people (you) saying that ultimatly it will be bad from the hobby. So far its all good, I am certainly enjoying the great prices and as far as Steve/Nick are concerned an improvement in quality too.

jetskisteve Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Why dont Petworld send to AK? funny cos we send stuff to CH CH. Also the other mid NI importer is upset cos we have brought prices down! Do you really think the others would have lowered their price without us? I dont think so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suphew Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I have only been in the hobby since 2004, well after Reef and the others were importing (as far as I know) and just before Steve/Nick started, I have seen prices drop alot since then.

suphew Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Oh and Gregb, you get my vote for 'you are a dick'. I quite like the off the wall humour at times on this site, but at least make it witty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimera Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 However I must add this comment, Austrians at large are in no way shape or form associated with chimera, research into chimeras fnzas posts found that they were highly intellectual although had a strange, uncanny and extremely bizzare sense of humour. Chimera is really a pure bred kiwi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I brought mine from Jansens in 2002, when yellow tangs were $200.00ea and no coral was under $100.00. Prices have changed in recent years, particualary with JetSkiSteve importing and helping keep prices in check. News to me. Never seen a yellow tang for $200. Many corals were under $100 in 2002. I have price lists to confirm this. Actually prices have not really come down. More to do with the high USD. So make the most of it as forecast is for the USD to drop. Do you really think the others would have lowered their price without us? so funny it would be a waste of time to comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fay Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 SCARLET is that the same as the Flame Hawkfish if so I have had one for about two years neat fish, also got the Pixy Hawkfish he loves cleaner shrimp for breakfast. Wouldn't have a clue what I paid for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
