since they sold 2 outta the three $$$$ they had in 24 hours, i guess it makes more sense to put up about 4 more ridiculously high-priced clams

I know, you only seem to like the ones that are the same color as the rock

lol

Sneezy · Big-Geek

LOL I would rather buy a smaller one and enjoy raising it to be that big.

I do like the gold one's more though.

mmmmm rock color mmmmmm

I honestly think they ae hot even at those prices, these types of clams haven't been in the industry in a very long time. Much less if you were to buy a aquacultured clam that size I am sure it would be close if not more in $$$. I know there is a lot of hype and outrage in the hobby right now about high prices of corals etc....But we have to look at the whole picture. I know 5 or so years ago when I was into clams there were high dollar clams and alot of larger clams, but they have truely fallen off the map....I personally don't have the cash, but find them to be well worth the money if bought....Look at the colors of those compared to aquacultured I honestly think these wild clams are far more vivid and colorful then the aquacultured clams we have to choose from nowadays....If I had the cash to burn I would have bought one no problem. Of course it all comes down to persoanl choice....

HIGH FIVE!!!

I hear what you're saying Azurel and IF money was not an issue I'd have no problem buying those beauties...I also think that the most brilliant clams I've seen were wild...though it's not to say that there are some really pretty aquacultured clams too

...personally I don't care for the "rock" colored ones too much...though the squamosa and deresa we had were primarily browns and were absolutely gorgeous....the wild patterns and spots of turquoise surely helped...gosh I miss those babies!

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Now they are naming where all their Maxima's are coming from. I think this is a great idea.
