Alright, let's admit it, we are all guilty of fantasy shopping on Aquabid (and sometimes even splurging!) I thought I would start a thread for people to show off their dream betta's, unusual colors, and exciting purchases!
Lol I was half expecting the seller to write #nofilter in the description. Apparently not.
$72.99. Wow. I know I paid more than that for Willow, but that's including shipping and other fees. Is there really anyone in this hobby who's willing to drop $72.99 - before shipping - for a fish that isn't all that special? I mean, he's gorgeous, but it's not like he's a black melano EE or something like that.
^ ignore my rambling lol I do realize this is less of a chit chat thread. Just sorta talking to myself
I think those of you in the US are spoiled with the prices of your fish. If you want a pair of AB quality fish here, you can very easily reach $100.
I don't know what effect the new import laws are going to have on prices here, as the private hobbyist can no longer import fish from overseas breeders/AB.
I'm sorry to hear about the new law if it helps, US$72 in today's rate equals AU$96. So I suppose the difference isn't all that big? Considering how you said $100 is for a pair?
Anyway. I hope you guys can still have access to imported fish somehow. Indo is only a short boat ride away though if you want to smuggle stuff
Our import fees also used to be really high. Like $22 upwards per fish if you imported them through the main importer. Then if you couldn't pick your fish up, it was even more money for shipping.
If we do still have access to quality imported bettas, it will probably equal $$$.
I've had to ban myself from AB so I don't get too depressed about it.
Yeah a lot of Yellow Salamander's have been attempted to be written off as Mustard gas but yep, they are very different. That's the one thing I hate about AquaBid, so much mislabeling!!
