davwong Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 It better to buy at LFS where you can choose the one you like and seen it in person than with just picture. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flaming Nemo Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 Yap I agree but online are cheaper. Today i went to a shop and they sell the corals so EX!!! Not to mention the shop name, its ridiculous!! Anyhow buckup price.... Imagine a frag of anemone mushroom sell $70 bucks..... Madnesss I think i can grow myself or used that to cultivate abalone for me to eat hahahaha I went and see fishn friends they no longer sell except coralmarketplace. Their price there is reasonable leh compare to those shop. At least i can wait for them to deliver to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achillies Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I agree that you LFS are definitely cheaper. Reefers pls compare prices n species n quality..etc before you regret. BTW, this shld be another sub forum. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member monpire Posted October 8, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted October 8, 2006 "Unhygienic" errhhh bro...we are dealing with bacteria and micro-organisms..so much for that ha ha ha...btw, Coral Farm also can find some cute insects running around on the floor...actually they look like mutated roaches...hee hee hee...very very cute Some LFS really can chop people, but there are some that give very good prices. Furthermore, I managed to pick up alot of things about reefing from the staff and owners of the shop...value added services...hahaha. Happy reefing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member piero Posted October 9, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted October 9, 2006 yeah... Somehow feel that the cost of corals are going up as compared to a couple of years ago. Or maybe I am just not going to the right places? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Reefaholic Posted October 9, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted October 9, 2006 I do not know the thread starter intention? a) To promote online www.coralmarketplace.com? which i think is not allow as this is commercial posting? To check LFS market pricing so that www.coralmarketplace.com knows where it stands? c) Or to discourage others to buy from LFS and go and buy online rather? d) Or to find out anyone here purchase corals online? I heard there was one or two retailers selling corals online that went bust as quickly as they set up 1-2 years ago. If you are setting one? Or your friend is setting one, god blessed you.

Members have a right to be a little sensitive on this topic - although you have a right to feel happy paying $25 for a Sarcophyton leather coral, many other hobbyist who visit the shops know very well its way beyond what they would pay. You also fail to mention the weekday $20 9am-3pm delivery charge (making your leather hmmm$45), of course if you want it on the weekend its $40 additional. Now that's becomes $65 for a leather coral. There is no coralmarketplace registered in the singapore business directory http://www.acra.gov.sg/general/directory.html maybe it is not registered under the above name - if so a business reg number should be provided somewhere on the site especially when its a online shop (which can be here today-gone tomorrow) The website payment options only have Internet transfer or ATM transfer & contact details are to a Hotmail account. If this does not raise questions in yourself, you have no one to blame. I would suggest that if you really want to buy from them - do so only cash on delivery. If it doesn't turn up- you loose nothing. I have not mentioned anything about commercial or the terms used on the site which raises a lot of brows .

SRC Member honzo Posted October 10, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted October 10, 2006 Not fair to make flame on LFS for this issue. At LFS, you like it you take it. Dont like dont take. Online, can reject when deliver or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
