Why not? I bet people would love to something for sale these days besides mutts.
I still haven't found the top shelf P14s for $600 - HOWEVER - I did get a quote for almost $6K for a pair.....
Well sometimes you just need to switch suppliers. Whoever you deal with is clearly f*****g you every time you buy.
OR are their rays just that much nicer?
This is where lots of disgreements come from - hobbyists in the hobby to enjoy it and ray peddlers trying to make a living.....
One side sells $600 rays claiming "top quality". Other side hunts down the nicest rays in the world, unfortunately nice rays from one of the most reputable breeders in the world are not cheap..... WHO is getting F@&ked? The guy buying garbage that someone claims is "top quality" OR the guy who got what he wanted and in turn paid the price?
So you are making the comparison of buying one sought after ray for a high price with buying multiple rays. Next time you track down your dream ray from the breeder ask him how much they will charge if you buy 15...the person who sells these rays offered them for $1500 a pair. I’d call these “high quality” which of course is subject to interpretation. This guy being the middle man of the deal. Now what would the price be for them if I went directly to the breeder/supplier and asked to buy 10 directly? That $750 per ray quickly becomes $300? $400? $500?OR are their rays just that much nicer?

Convert your prices to CDN $$$ and they are almost equal for all those rays. Some being even more expensive than here. I’m in Europe right now and saw some of the pricing on a few different fish. It’s nothing to brag about lol.
