    some new very nice zoas up.

    regretably I must duck out of the competition due to the fact I am running out of room for new corals in my 40.

    Those are sweet. they are getting a hold of some very nice product. Too bad you are running out of room. Time for an expansion I think.

    They have a free auction for bids. How much do you think they will go for. The one this evening went for $5.99.

    I think the next thing I need to save up for is either a 75 gallon reef ready or a vortech.

    some people get caught up in the war, to be a intelligent buyer you must also know when to walk away.

    I've always been told that penny auctions are complete BS. How much have you TRULY paid so far? It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that there is no way any company can afford to sell corals for 2 cents and stay in business. Have you found the catch yet?

    you pay for the bids(standard is $.60, sometimes they auction them in a free auction(bidding is free in that type of auction)), I wouldn't say its a catch since its pretty obvious as you must buy bids before hand.

    As of right now its still cheaper then retail for most items(corals especially)..
    if you check 2in10's other thread we mention how much in bids it cost us for our items.

    this item actually cost 2in10 .62 cents since it cost him one bid and 2 cents.
