Armatus everywhere!

That was my thought also. I guess I'll save the 250-300 bucks to put towards a black ray.
I would sure left to know what they paid for them. (Armatus)

well if someone is asking 100.00 each if you buy 200. then for sure under $100.00

If I'm buying, which I'm not, I will wait until the market saturates and enjoy the much cheaper prices.

A perfect example is the NGT or azuls.

Agreed.... goes to show you what the markup is on these guys! Right off the bat you can obviously see a $150 markup per Armatus (but that's also bulk pricing and not including DOA's during shipping/deaths in the tank). But you can see that these sellers will make at least an average of $150+ per fish if sold individually if there were no deaths. It's no longer a hobby that's for sure........

supply and demand. if sellers can get that kind of $$$ more power to them.

Other examples are Tigs and Zebra plecos compared to last summer. Tigs 100 apiece or zebras @ 150.

Good point with the tigs.

If people are paying whats the problem?

There were points when I could get $35 Zebra Pleco's, $150 Leo's, $40 Blue Eyes, $50 NGT, $5 Indos, $50 gulpers, etc. ALl have skyrocketed at different points..

Supply and demand...Opportunities come and go, 'fad fish' come and go, but if the buyer is willing to pay the asking price whats the problem? BD for 10k? Plat Mundi for 20k+ Who cares, to each his own.

Untangle your panties dude..... we're just having a conversation about where the price of these armatus have gone. These sellers are disclosing there prices, so we're having a 'discussion'.

I'll remind you of your own words when fuel prices go back up and you start whining about the cost it takes to fill up your car/truck.
