Since when? They definitely sell pieces at a ridiculous profit.
Tryree came to a recent club meeting as a speaker. He auctioned off a whole bunch of pieces that have multiyear waiting lists. He also sold 10-15 frags each of a couple of corals that have multi-year waiting lists.
I have a hard time believing that the "waiting lists" and "limited harvesting" are anythign more than a gimmick.
