Hunting for zoanthus

I've been trying to get someone to sell or trade these zoas to me. I've had no luck, or the person was price gouging. Below is what I'm looking for and here is a link to some of my barter.

Except the pics that match the ones below, I'll trade almost anything in my gallery.

I've found an Alien eyes trade, any other takers for the other 3 I'm looking for?

Superfishy, thanks for reminding me about Whodahs Gi-joes. I forgot he mentioned that he had them...
Time to go pester him....

Hey Reef Junkie When you talk to Whodah, remind him that I still want some of those zoos too Actually I'd be very interested in where you find the safecracker zoos because in addition to the army zoos, those are one of my most desired zoos If you do find some, I might have some rare zoos to trade with you for a small frag

Thanks Chad.
It seems Envy's out of the RPE's and Safecrackers right now.
I'm going to drop him a request anyway.
Cheers,
Bill

Why are those envy orange zoos so expensive? They're beautiful but way out of my price range

I agree, I like free as a price. I'd much rather trade.
But sometimes you have to bite the bullet...

My guess is because they look nice and very few people if any body else has them yet. and when you run a buisiness that is what you have to do to stay in buisiness. just my opinion.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
It's just too rich for my blood.

Reef Junkie, did you email him on the others? if you buy more than one color at a time you could always ask to see if he will cut you some kind of deal also, it never hurts. It takes him a while to answer email some of the time but that is probably because he is a pretty busy guy.

Chad,
Here's the deal... I wanted to trade for those corals, but was only able to get the alien eyes. Safecrackers and RPE's won't trade with me; I'm even trading True Blues, Teals and even solid oranges with black rings.
The worst part is I'm out of work on disability, so funds are low right now.
If I cannot get a trade on these, I will bite the bullet and buy them
I guess I'm just spoiled, I got my PPE's for free.
Cheers,
Bill

I wish i could help you out, but all of them that i have are still frags. I know the feeling of being spoiled that is why i bought small frags of them. If i see someone looking to trade them i will send them your way

Thanks Chad, I really appreciate that.
I return to work tomorrow and have a frag altering meeting on Friday; aka Interview of my life! If I land this position, money will not be an issue.

Hey ReefJunkie
How'd the interview go? I am looking into buying some safecracker zoos from reefenvy myself so maybe we can work out something between the two of us I bought alien eyes from him and I can definitely say that he ships high quality zoos. They were shipped really nicely. The plug was attached via rubberband to a piece of styrofoam so they always floated and never got beat-up against the bag in shipping. I was very impressed. I'm just waiting for my new tank to be up and running before I get a frag of the safecrackers.

Ecotoxlady,
The first interview was awesome, next one will be a blast. It'll take 3 interviews to either get me a new job or even better, for me to become a consultant...

I just e-mailed ReefEnvy and I think I know him. I am waiting for a reply.
I would love to split an order, but don't know how that would work out with us living 3 states away from each other?
Anyway, thanks for the info and I apologize for not thanking you earlier for your kind compliment, thank you.
Reefenvy seems very fair, I'll let you know what deal he offers me.
Cheers,
Bill

Reef Junkie,
Glad to hear the interview went well and I hope you shine in the next two! There are a number of ways we can work out splitting the safecrackers I think we can work something out but we'll talk about it and see how we both feel about it as the time gets closer For the time being it sounds like you're quite busy and I know I am swamped so we can talk about it a little later after things have calmed down. Wishing you all the best in your next interviews and talk to you later!
- Karen

Well, I have the Alien Eyes.
One down, 2 to go. I might have the other two soon, I'm passing on the gi-joes for now.

Karen,
I got an e-mail from Reefenvy. His prices are reasonable like Chad mentioned.
I'll PM you when I have a final price.
Cheers,
Bill
