fuzzy_dragonfly Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 SH!* . That can't be real. Maybe there's a typo in the price. Why is it so expensive? Don't get me wrong it's a nice fish, but WHOA . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callatya Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 What is it about this one then Cam? I love seeing the fish you bid on, I get to live vicariously for a while! Its got nice form and very clean colour, but I dunno, it does have black on the opercular membrane thingamy? It is stunning though, the more i look at it, the more i like it... Anyone know who Aaronhan is? I mean, do you think he intended to do 1020 and not 10002? It is an awfully big leap for a serious bid, kinda defeats the point of an auction really :? Interesting to see how this goes, and if Duen will sell off spawn siblings for a standard price after this :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canfeleq Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Nice fish but, as much as I love bettas - you'd have to be seriously nuts to pay that much for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishchick Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 The chances of that price being paid are non-existent. A deal will be brokered somewhere. No one would fork out that sort of cash - you'd just dump the sale, take the negative feedback, and start again with another name. Mostly people just sort out a deal. Still a nice fish though!

Betta Collective Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Ok guys heres the low down. I recently came in to a lot of money and as some of you already know I have been trying to drive the prices of bettas up for some time now so.............................. Just kiddin I saw this guy and bid immediately. Within minutes I had been outbid. I must confess I have always had a total intolerance to being outbid (yes I realise this comes as no surprise to most of you) I guess it’s partly an ego thing as well as my passionate and determined nature. So I went to bid again and each figure I tried was immediately rejected as not enough. This happened up to a thousand dollars and then I thought "what the hell" and put $10'000 as my max bid. I became the winning bidder with that at $1002 so I guess the other party put $1000 as their max bid. They promptly came back with a bid of $10'004. I had a situation with Nipon Boontiang once where I had bought all of the fish he'd listed on Aquabid and just bid any amount to make sure I was the winning bidder even though a price had been set before the auction started. I suspect a similar situation is at hand here which SUX cos I WANT that fish!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 You want it $10,000 badly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callatya Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 From anyone else i'd say they were fibbing, but that is totally believeable He's a nice fish, definately, but have you checked spawn siblings at all? Are any just as good? He is definately a stunning fish, if i had the $ i would have gone to $300-odd for him, and thats a massive thing coming from a cheapskate! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango4Jade Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Now that is one betta ay? Edie told me that its worth a high price...but not that high $10,000 is hardcore...I guess there is someone out there that wants that fish as much as you do Cam. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzy_dragonfly Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Mmmm, with $10 000 I could buy a blue and gold macaw , or a pair of majors , or better still a red tailed black cockatoo complete WITH an aviary and maybe even a mate . Well it costs nothing to dream . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 :lol: what would the odds be that 2 people would put in a bid that heigh to try and out smart the other bidder on the one fish?! Funny!! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
