Is this a good deal?

My LFS has ebjd for $30 a pop at 1.5", I was wondering if this was a decent deal. Also, should I wait until they reach 2 or 2.5" before taking the risk (I have read that they often die before reaching 2.5" and after that there pretty much good to go). What do you guys and gals think?

I think it's a great deal! Around here when someone has them they usually go for $60 and up...

 

[BigTim15]

that is around the average price around here....

Yip same here.

That's a pretty good price, they usually go between 40 to 60 here depending on how big they are.

i think you can get 1.5" here for like $25 or something...

thats average. as soon as mine are sell-able, i'll probably sell mine for $15-20 depending on size.

what about the the dying off at 2" thing, is that true?

that is a good price here in Charlotte, NC I have seen them going for 80 bucks at one place

They've been known to die mysteriously at all sizes, but tend to be pretty hardy from 3" on up. They're very fragile, especially when young/small.
