The site says orders MUST SHIP OUT BEFORE THE 20TH... I'll offer to keep them in my tank for everyone to pick up but I don't want to deal with the money part. Elite, you wanna manage money while I manage space?
They will have a bunch more in stock very soon but at REGULAR PRICES which is about 30% more. I'll call him today to see what he has in stock... BRB

I just review some of their prices and it looks like it's about the same as what I can get the Crocea for locally. 
Even more actually, I got a 4" Crocea for $30 locally. The 6+" are going for $38.
Nice and healthy

The only place I know that sales them and other livestock fairly cheap is Somthin Fish Sea in San Jose. The only problem is availability and selection.... just like Jedininja said.

And it's not cheap any more..
HybridFish,
Ask him if each of us can send him the $$ directly. That would be easiest...
MUST SHIP OUT BEFORE THE 20TH?? If he doesn't have any other than what on the web then I'm out :rolleye1:
Yea, me too. Unless there are more in the back, there isn't much on there that I want.

I'm still waiting for a reply back from him. We'll find out soon enough. By the way... would anyone still be interested after they put in their new stock at regular prices?

i hate to be that guy but there are to many variables and i'd have enough trouble convincing the better half. so i'll step out of this one.

someone hand me the popcorn when people go at each other's throats for the precious clam that they wanted 
Seriously though, this isn't like a group buy on snails, drygoods or frags, there is only one of a product that you may want, not exactly something you'll settle for as you want a particular clam for how it looks right in the picture not just any clam that's left over. Now take the fact that you need all 10 people to decide in a very rapid fashion so no one else out there in the internet universe picks a particular clam. Sounds like quite the act of lunacy just trying to attempt to pull it off
Now if you had a smaller number of people, you might pull it off, sure you won't get free shipping, but CA shipping will be $35, so if you get 3 people in it's an additional $12 for shipping, get 4 people $8.75, etc.. infact at 10 people even without free shipping it's still only an additional $3.50 per clam. This is one case where you might want to set your sights a little lower as far as a group buy is concerned.
