Purple People Eaters

Just seeing how much interest I get in some PPE's. These are the real deal. Nice green lashes surrounding a deep purple body with a flourescent green center eye. I will be fragging these Monday and shipping the following week to make sure all heal and are ready to be shipped. There will be a minimum of 3 frags all with at least 5 polyps. Price is $220 which includes overnight shipping with ups and heat packs. Pics will not be available until after I have fragged because my camera is being repaired. Feel free to pm me with any questions or e-mail at kylemnsfld@aol.com. I will be out of town for a couple of days and will reply no later than Monday.

IMO, 44$ a polyp is too much for me, they arent worth it anymore, as they are not "rare" anymore. There are lots of wild "PPE" colonies coming around these days. I have no doubt you will sell them though.

Actually if you tank into consideration the packaging and shipping costs which are included it is only about $33 a polyp. The going rate is still $50 a polyp plus shipping.

If they are the real deal, they are DEFINITELY worth it, & they still are hard to find...
Not a bad price either, wish people would read the posting rules before they make comments like that

I am interested in a frag of these.
Are the frags made and ready to go?
Also, I need a picture of the frag, and would like one of the mother colony as well.
Thanks.

And for those comments I've just removed from this thread....The above bears repeating.

Thanks!

I am interested in buying PPEs, PM me.

I also have to say the quoted post above has nothing to with purchasing. I think it's strange a post about etiquette breaks the very etiquette it is describing.

Sometimes when people can't read they rules themselves they need a reminder from a Moderator.

Aren't we expected to comment in order to help one another out? i.e getting good market value, not getting ripped off by the occasion shuckers (no knoclk intended to you at all, berniekyle), that sort of thing? I would say there's a fine line but I don't quite understand why comments aren't helpful to the users at large.
