Damn, I'm sorry to hear your favorite lfs is hot. That place is legitimately terrible, but I guess we don have much of a choice around here.

I don't need your sorrow im fine. I love HOT if you think its bad that's your opinion and I could care less. Also speak for yourself because I have choices and I still like HOT the best. Funny thing is id love to see the store you think is better.
Wow, you all are lucky. My LFS has 3' pieces of driftwood, that are really nice, for about $200.
One of them I like so much that I am tempted to buy it if I ever have the extra funds.

I got a really nice piece from there as well last week. It's Malaysian driftwood at least that's how they advertise it.
I go back and forth about how I feel about HoT. I've purchased fish from there as recently as last week and while they're stock is generally healthy and they do get some interesting and less common stuff, they price a few things into the stratosphere for no particular reason. They have that huge jardine that's been stuck in that little 90 or 120 for a few months priced as high as a grand and now down to $800. The worst part is I sat and listened to an employee there boast to a guy asking about the fish, saying that the only reason they had it was because a guy paid half up front to order it and they never heard back. The man he told said ok I'll pay the other half I have $500 right here and they said no. Just rubbed me wrong. I've seen numerous fish priced at 5-10x retail value while others are more in the normal range. The thing is, if they would stop being so ridiculous with the big ticket items they wouldn't sit in the store for so damn long and they could turn over interesting stock much faster. The reason I go all the time? Where else is there?

Nice wood man.
Aside from a few pieces I got tradeing crayfish to a LFS I scavenge all of mine in the spring. We have a big damn and resivoir not far from my house with off shoots people fish in that get realy high up during the thaw so when the water goes down I just go pick up the wood it leaves.
