good price for leo's

And if he is getting these animals in, they are almost certianly obtained illegally. Zebra plecos are not allowed out of Brazil. As other's have stated, leos are not found in Peru. If they are bringing them out of there they are no doubt smuggled out of country and thus would not be in good shape. The hobby should not support this type of thing. It gives everyone a black eye.
GOOD LUCK. IF U CAN GET LEOS FOR 90 BUCKS GET 1,000 OF THEM. U WILL BE RICH. SEEING HOW THEY SELL FOR 1,500 TO 2,500. THEY COME FROM BRAZIL THOUGH. AND L46 WHOLESALE AT OVER 100 BUCKS. THIS GUYS PULLING YOUR CHAIN. DONT GIVE HIM ANY CASH TILL THE FISH ARE IN YOUR HAND.
MY WHOLESALER HAD BLACK MOTOROS ON HIS LIST TOO. THOSE ARE NOT LEOS. 75,000 GALLONS IN HIS BASEMENT. WHERE DOES HE LIVE THE SHEDD AQUARIUM? IF U SEALES A BASEMENT OF A 2,000 SQ. FT. HOUSE AND FLOODED EVERY INCH OF IT U STILL WOULDNT EVEN BE CLOSE TO 75,000 GALLONS. I HAVE A POLE BARN BEHIND MY STORE WHERE IM IMPORTING AND BREEDING PINK ELEPHANTS, UNICORNS, AND DRAGONS. LOL
Ok guys, lets cut this furcifer158 some break. We all know that its not going to happen. He was probably just a hobbyist that was fed some lines from a local "bullsheeter" and decided to share. If we all jump on newbies like that, how will this hobby ever allow new comers?
Many of your talk like you've imported for many years when infact you haven't. I've imported for some years now and by all means no expert, and many on here have imported for much longer.
I've seen this happen over and over, some peole just get too excited when they hear something like that. I remember local fish stores use to feed me lines on how they can get this and that, and I was dying to share it with people, then just to have my bubble busted. We've all been there one point or another.
The conclusion: 1. leos for 90 or 250, is not happening. 2. cut this newbie some slack.

and the prices he quoted, those are and were the prices of these rays before the ban. So giving him the benifit of the doubt,
Furcifer spoke to an old school, defunct importer, that has knowledge of the old prices, thinking that he can still get the same, and tried to impress this kid. Confused about where they're from, and with only incomplete knowledge, tries to make a complete story about how to cover up so customs doesn't recognize it on the invoice, etc...etc...
funny nonetheless

NO HARD FEELINGS TO THE NEWBIE. JUST JOKING AROUND. I THINK YOU WERE EXACTLY RIGHT ABOUT THE WHOLESALER BEING OLD SCHOOL. I TALKED TO ONE OF MY WHOLESALERS COUPLE A WEEKS AGO AND WHEN I TOLD HER THAT LEOS WERE GOING FOR 1,500 AND UP SHE ABOUT ****. SHE THOUGHT THEY WERE JUST NOT AVAILABLE AND WHEN THEY WERE AGAIN THE PRICE WOULD BE THE SAME. AROUND 90 BUCKS WHOLESALE. ANYONE WHO HAD THESE RAYS SEVERAL YEARS AGO BEFORE THE BAN KNOWS THE LFS WERE TRYING TO GIVE THEM AWAY FOR 200 BUCKS. EVERYONE THOUGHT THAT WAS HIGH BACK THEN. IF WE ONLY KNEW...
