orange ricordia deal - donavons reef

[chrisstie]

Hey guys I am putting in an order with donavonsreef.com and donavon is a great guy. I can't afford this but I thought i'd put it here in case anyone would want to get it

From his email

"I'm running a special on big
Orange Rocks aprox 25 polyps for 200.00 so If you ever wanted an orange show
piece now is the time to do it because under 10.00 per polyp for orange
ricordia don't happen to often"

and I know theres a few mushroom nuts out there like me and he said if i know anyone who is looking to let him know. He also has in-florida shipping for $15 but i think its DHL - for where I live it comes as scheduled so its great for me but he has other shipping options available too

 

[cowboyswife]

Geez, I wish I could afford that.

 

[chrisstie]

I know right? Maybe if a few people want it you could get it together and split it up?

 

[Brazengrrl]

I would be game.

 

[chrisstie]

He mailed me back and said he will send me a pic tonight when he gets back from the office of the rock so you can actually see them if that helps.. I am getting some yellow ricordias from him He also have some beautiful LPS on his site but its definitely out of my price range

 

[chrisstie]

Here's the pics Donavon sent me:

I wish I could afford them but here's what im getting (yellow ones)

 

[Brazengrrl]

The yellow ones are beautiful!!! Were they terribly expensive?

 

[chrisstie]

Well, in this hobby a lot of prices are relative and I guess to me with those and the other stuff i ordered from him it is worth it. I have another picture somewhre of the yellow next to the orange and its a very clear difference, cant wait to see what it looks like in my tank.

It was about $30 per polyp - but one has two mouths according to the pic so *fingers crossed* maybe it'll like my tank and be a fast grower

I actually thought it was really interestign that the mouths are kind of the same color, cant wait to see it in person!

So it would be $215 shipped?
I didn't see this on the website, did I miss a sales page or something?
If I wanted to buy this, how would I do it? Contact them about it?
Also, how many people would want polyps, and how many. I need to see if there is enough interest, if there is, I will buy it and cut off polyps for people.
Prices would be total divided by number of polyps.
Please let me know.
Thanks.

 

[chrisstie]

It's not on his webpage yet I think because he offered it to me or friends I know while I was working on placing my order with him

I'll pm you his email address for more info - a really great guy to talk to... If you PM me your email i'll copy you an email he sent with some of his own tank pieces- he has a beautiful beautiful collection.

I'd post it here but dont want to do so without his permission.

I'm not sure if he's up this late but he's very very responsive with email and has gotten back to me fast all day

 

[hexedagain]

Thanks for sharing this info.
I will let everyone know when they arrive, and how many polyps are available.
I think I have someone wanting half? of these. But I am waiting for him to contact me.
At least one of these will be finding it's way into chrisstie's tank as a finders fee.
Thanks again.

I`d actually be interested in 2,3 polyps. Although it`ll be a couple weeks before I could make a lil trip to Otown(have family coming in for vacation(their vacation that is!)

 

[hexedagain]

I got the confirmation that these will be here tomorrow.

 

[sytanek]

Awesome!! I need to get Christy's address so my wife can take money to her tomorow.

 

[chrisstie]

I sent it to you

 

[cowboyswife]

The money will be delivered to Chrisstie tomorrow. Sorry I cant meet you guys up at SITC on Saturday. Ill be fishing with my father in law and daughter. Thank you Chrisstie, hexedagain, and hubby for this seriously sweet deal!! Im really excited!!

 

[chrisstie]

No problem and I am too.. can't wait to see what comes in!

Is it snook season yet? You better catch a big snook or at least something delicious for dinner!

 

[cowboyswife]

sytanek and I are splitting it.
Until it gets cut up, I am not sure what will be available. I can say I should have 2,3,or 4 polyps available. But we will have to see.
I will be looking to get what I paid for the rock and shipping, nothing more.
I am just looking to add some more orange into my tank. Now I need to find this deal with some blue rics.
Get it? B2B.
