I was just messing with you Tracy, but that was the point. You were on the fence on box or bucket waiting for a winner.

I'll help boost the Instant Ocean bucket numbers: minimum 3, maybe 4 after pricing.

[MrRyanT]

I don't really care, but the box sounds like a little better deal.

 

[Goibot]

MrRyan kind of sounds like he know what he is talking about.

I agree. He did stay at a Holiday Inn Express.

 

[casshoward]

No real preference. If the majority prefers the box I am good for 3 or 4 boxes.

Sure is nice to fool somebody into thinking that every once in a while.

This order will likely be boxes.

I tried to get the club to backup the order, but that didn't work out. I just got back from vacation and will get final quotes, but it looks like there will be a prepay. It would be easier if the people in the Memphis area prepaid at the LFS.

 

[Goibot]

Why wont the club back up the order?

I just didn't get a response in time to order. I know the club has finances such as the frag swap, so we may not be in a financial position to do this. I think the problem usually is when people say they want something and never follow through. If you get the money up front, then that takes care of procrastinators. I'm waiting for prices and then I'll give you all the information and where to pay.

 

[Mako Shark II]

Thanks for doing this Marcus!

 

[alkamar]

We should have a final price on Monday. Stay tuned.

 

[Goibot]

Thanks Marcus

 

[alkamar]

Ok, folks. I am send a pm with all the information. Price including tax needs to be paid to the LFS as soon as possible. The sooner everyone pays, the sooner the order will take place.

 

[alkamar]

Your payments need to be made at:
Kermit's Reef
8851 Macon Rd.
Cordova, TN 38018

Let me know if you didn't get a pm with all the information.

Gladly Marcus! THANKS very much for doing this.

As a Director of Purchasing & Contract Management, it was really galling me to pay retail prices for salt! $62. /pail really got my attention recently, especially when I change water out so frequently. So thanks! I’d rather have some extra disposable cash to buy frags and other specimens from our LFS, not blow it on essentials. ($3. a gallon gas gets my goat too, but I’m not even going there.)

Speaking of our LFS’s:
A Big Thank You to Dave @ Kermit’s for helping lower our operating expenses. (And I’m sure Richard @ MemFish too for bidding.) I have no problem awarding sales to a business who strives to do right by their customers, so Thank You Gents! (Dave, I’ll be by this weekend to drop off a check. Thanks for working with us!)

WTMRAC: Let's continue to communicate, pool our usage, plan and buy long on those items that we know we'll need!

 

[Goibot]

Marcus Thanks for setting this up, and Dave and Richard thanks for ordering it for us. I did make it to Kermit's today only to find out they dont open till noon :-(

I think I am going to have to back out of it as I won't be able to get that way again till late next weekand the time I've done two more trips up there (one to pay and then another to pick it up) I'll have eaten up any savings there was.
