Jbrougher Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Today, while mindlessly bussing tables at my job, a thought came to mind. After long periods of time, has anyone ever noticed an inflation of corals in the area, leading to a price drop? Just a random thought.

pbnj Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I think he means an increase in supply, therefore a drop in prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Thanks. Nope. See RBTA in the local market. A increase in availability has not accompanied a drop in price below $80-100 per. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 I do think over time "popular" corals come down in price (RBTA's might be the exception). Acan's used to be extremely expensive when they where all the rage. Now it seem like you can get them at a more reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 The inflation in price is most likely related to the increase in gas prices. The shipping cost on corals in expensive to say the least and when the fuel price increases it increases the shipping cost. The vendors then have to turn around and apply that to their mark up so that they are still turning a profit. Time to expect the price of milk to go up to $10 a gallon!
