Post LFS OVER PRICED FISHs

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
2.5 inch electric blue jack dempsey priced at $110.00! Laughed and walked away. Brother went back in about 3 weeks later and got it for $100.00! WAY too much money for that fish!
 
at my shop people say that we are overpriced compared to other shops, but as mentioned on this thread, people want rare and unusual fish, and they dont want to pay a cent for them. especially in this economy, it's getting tough to run a business. our electric bill is $10,000 monthly, dont even want to know what the water bill is, and then salaries on top of that. There is usually between 3-6x markup, and if there isnt that markup, there is no way any LFS would stay afloat.

also remember that different areas have different costs on electricity. MA is rather high. We run a 7 day a week shop with over 700 tanks, 20 sumps, more than enough heaters, plus a wholesale upstairs.
 
Well.....

$15 convict...2 inches
$95 Oscar...10ish inches actually a not fish but def. not worth the money
$150 TSN...12 inches
$195 RTC...18 inches
$150 Silver Aro.. 12 inches

All from the same store...the store either has really cheap fish or really expensive. I have picked up frontosa at 2 inches for $8 a peice at the same store.
