Enough Cyclopeeze to last a lifetime - GB?

[rleechb]

Is anyone interested in joining me and a friend in a group buy for cyclopeeze? I found a link online selling the frozen stuff for 225 + shipping (ends up being right around 300 shipped). This is for 7 bars @ 750g each, 23 lbs total! Price after shipping ends up being right around $40 per person. For reference, the local LFS wants 80 bucks for the same flat, and sells the ~50g package for $16.

Anyways, we need 5 more people total. If it ends up happening, pickup will be in San Jose.

I'd like to

Great, here's the list thus far:

rleechb
AI3
mcurl98
lordhelmet (pending approval)

We'll need 3 more.



To tell you the truth Chris, I'm tempted to deny you in this GB, since you're upgrading to a much bigger tank than mine, and will be causing me much jealousy soon (joke).

It's a 4ft tank too!??! 4 x 3 x 2? Man, those are some awesome dimensions.

Please count me in!

 

[rleechb]

Great, we'll need 2 more.


I checked the website, and shipping is pretty ridiculous:

http://www.cyclop-eeze.com/online_store.php

Next day air total = 345.30 (111.30 for shipping)
2nd day air = 288.09 (54.09 for shipping)

So it would be ~$50 per person for next day, vs ~$41 for 2nd day.

What does everyone think for shipping? I could go either way.

 

[fishme]

please count me in. Regards to shipping, I can go either way.

rleechb, where are you in SJ?

 

[rleechb]

Looks like we'll need one more (and a little approval for Lordhelmet). I'm off of McKee in the Country Club Villa Apts. I'll probably have some chaeto for you if you need it when you pickup the cyclopeeze, fishme.

count me in please

Second day would be cool...unless everyone wants thier ezzzess right away!

 

[mcurl98]

I'm in for 2 day. As long as it stays frozen, it makes sense to go with the 2 day. I know Premium Aquatics recommends 2 day-but they use an insulated box and dry ice. I assume these guys do too.

 

[rleechb]

2nd day it is. I'll place the order sometime mid next week (after we get 1 more). I'll pm everyone my paypal address along with totals at that point. Everyone's also welcome to reimburse me in cash when you come and pickup, as well.

 

[rleechb]

Looks like we're all full now:


lordhelmet (pending approval)
rleechb
AI3
mcurl98
hawaiianwargod
strictlySPS
fishme


By the way, there's one more member who would like to get into the GB; if anyone wants to split a bar, pm me and let me know. I'll put the order in next week and let everyone know all the details.

 

[jedininja]

I wouldn't mind splitting a bar.

Sry, I meant someone who got in on the group buy


I would have opened up this group buy to a lot more bars/people, but the shipping discount they offer is tiny.

 

[jedininja]

ok, no prob.

 

[Elite]

Ray,
you know how big this thing is right?? I think you need to split it with me man .

[strictlySPS]

ill split my bar with someone...doesnt matter...thanks for putting the GB together rleechb....

 

[dannieboiz]

Elite, I'll split them with you. I lost 2 full bars from the heatwave last time. I'm getting a generator this year just in case.

 

[rleechb]

No worries. I was originally going to just split a big bar from one of the LFS around her for 80, but I figured we all could benefit from a group buy.


Phong, there was one guy in front of you for a split. If anyone else wants to split with Elite, let me know. If no one wants to split, then I'll definitely split a bar with you; you're covered either way. Updated list is:


lordhelmet (pending approval)
rleechb
AI3
mcurl98
hawaiianwargod
strictlySPS (1/2 bar)
phreak312 (1/2 bar)
fishme
