True PPEs For trade looking for ...

I posted a thread to ID these and They are PPEs. I dont really like Palys or zoas that much so I dont have much use for these. I have about 200 polyps left. If no one wants or has any of the stuff I want to trade then they will go up for sale..

Calcium Reactor (MRC dual Nano would be nice)
Good Skimmer (Mrc or euro Reef)
Kalk Reactor (any brand not homemade)
Vho Parts ie ballast (ic 430) End caps everything
MH set up 250 SE Retro with IC ballast or better

Smaller things
TDS meter
Phosban reactor kent or TLF
Return Pump ehiem 1250, mag 7, both


I need just about anything. PM me with whatever you have im sure we can figure out something.

The way I will do things is since shipping is so much and I dont want to pay it is, if your giving me something worth 300 bucks ill give you enough PPEs to cover both my shipping and yours. I should have new pics before the end of the night so LMK if your interested.

If you are getting more for the same price you said you got those for in the 1st place ( real cheap) then I dont see the need for $300.00 for 10 polyps. That puts you on a whole nother playing field. Especialy when you said your gonna get more of them after those are gone.
Just MHO.

I mean, I would love some but I dont want to get poked either ya know.

What makes True PPE so valuable is the fact that they can be traced to Blane Parune. Ya already said you got these from your LFS for cheap so they arent from Blane.
The real selling point of true PPE is that they can be traced to Blanes colony, and you can prove it.

They are nice paly's though dont get me wrong.

If money is what your after though you should just go straight to Ebay with them. I am sure someone will pay that on Ebay.

Wish ya luck.

I never said I was after money, actually if you look back youll see that This is posted in the trade forum, not the selling forum.. I really dont want the cash right now.. I already made my money back.. I just want to get stuff that I need for my tank. Im not trying to poke you, but if you had some PPEs and someone offers you a ballast which you kinda need and a mag 7 which you already have 2 of would you really want to give up your rare corals for something you already have? I work at a LFS and I can get a mag 7 anyday for cost why would I want to give up a amazing coral for something like that. Sorry if it seems like I am "pokin ya" im just trying to get set up with an awesome tank.



Edit: These Palys actually came from this tank

Then why ask for stuff you can get wholesale for in the 1st place? You work at an LFs and get these there?

If you already have 2 mag 7s why ask for one in the original post above? If you dont realy need a VHO balast why ask for them in the post above?


"Calcium Reactor (MRC dual Nano would be nice)
Good Skimmer (Mrc or euro Reef)
Kalk Reactor (any brand not homemade)
Vho Parts ie ballast (ic 430) End caps everything
MH set up 250 SE Retro with IC ballast or better

Smaller things
TDS meter
Phosban reactor kent or TLF
Return Pump ehiem 1250, mag 7, both"



Like I said though thats just my take on it.
I am sure someone will give you what you want.
Peace

I really dont want to fight with you, Im sorry if your bitter that I am trading them at such a high price.. and yes I would take another mag 7, just not for 50 or so polyps of PPes.. that just crazy. Yes I am going to get some more, will there be this much? no. I think I can get about 50 more polyps. Thats it. after that it will be just green palys. I can tell you right now there is no way that I could ever order any of these in from either sea dwellings fish heads or sunpet. Its hard enough getting decent colored acros from them..

The word "true" in the title "true ppes for trade looking for" is a little misleading.
Can't call it true if you can't trace it back to the original colony.
still nice though

"I just went to break down a guys set up and got about 250 polyps of these for near nothing...so thats sweet!"

Finally, a word on etiquette. These are not discussion forums. If you wish to purchase or trade, please post. However, if you only wish to comment on the quality of someone else's trade item or their price, with no intention of buying/trading, please keep it to yourself. These type of posts only sidetrack the thread away from the goal of the original poster - trading or selling their item.

Well just let the person do his business. If you're not interested, well get on your way and have the person do his business.

Simple as that.
