I found something cool at petco!

When you say "other people", do you mean people in the US or the importer/distributor in Africa?

Those guys probably double and triple check those crates before they put them on the plane. Good luck with that crate though, I'm sure you'll find at least few cool looking odd-balls.

traits like granite,blackbacks, reduced, high gold,stripes,funky patterns,etc. are fairly common to find in crates and at importers. finding a g-stripe or pied is another story. you might even find a so/so yb , the ones that the exporters & importers think are genetic and the real deal are priced accordingly. good luck, keep us posted on what you find.

It may be unopened but that doesn't mean that it hasn't been picked through.

I mean people in the US havent picked thru it. Thats pretty mcuh what im looking for, granites, black backs, high golds, stuff like that.

The deal is, we are paying like 3k for the crate...i have 1000 in, but im only taking the nice ones, probably less than 150 balls. on that note, my friend is taking the remainder of them and sitting on them till christmas time to fatten em up and stuff ans then is going to whole sale them off.

I would give my opinion on the wisdom of this but it probably wouldn't be what you want to hear...Best of luck with it though!
