Potential offer for group buy from a top tier wholesaler.

[Aquabucket]

Actually I was thinking of running an idea by my boss.

I was thinking of offering an FVRC group buy from my best wholesaler along with one of my typical stock orders. All FVRC members would be able to order larger sized corals at wholesale cost.

I was thinking of offering this opportunity maybe 4 times a year.

All I would ask for in return is for a carefully cut frag from each mother colony for future cultivation.

This would enable many of you to aquire fairly decent sized corals for about half of what you would pay retail or on any website.

You would have a wide selection to choose from and could request orders for some harder to find corals.

Let me know if you think this is a good idea or are interested.

Cheers,
Spike

Spike,

[FEEDERFISH]

I would like to check out the ordering list i would get something

 

[Aquabucket]

Thanks Dave!

Sorry ~ but the order would be for corals only.

FEEDERFISH

As for the list I can order just about anything. Do you have any thing in mind?

 

[nellie54914]

I would also be interested. But with anything to choose some seems like a difficult choice!

 

[weaver5]

Would that include us in western ny.I would also like it if you could email a list of what is available. My email is weavs5@yahoo.com Thanks alot Scott

Hey Spike, Long time no talk to.
When were you thinking of doing this order? I am going to be picking up my new 72 gallon bow at AA tomorrow (Wednesday). I should have the 120 gal it is replacing down and ready for sale in several weeks. By the beginning of April I should be ready to purchase a few corals to restock. Maybe I'll catch you tomorrow and we can talk. Are you working?

I am in the same boat with nellie depends on pricing..ricordia, acro, and clam prices might be a catch, and a Neon green candy coral !!!would also be worth a slight 1 1/2 drive

One like this

 

[basicsafty]

OoOOoOo count me in.

 

[iceman5]

i am interested also! just give the heads up prices and list of items available Thanks Andrew

 

[RCS]

I'd like to see a price list as well.

 

[BryanJ]

I am interested let me know too.

 

[srlumaye1]

I also would be interested. Ditto everyone else about a price and availability list...

Here's the deal. For several reasons ~ one being the very large size of the lists ~ I can not post them. It is also illegal for me to do so and also against RC policies.

In order for this to work you have to decide what specific corals you are looking for and want to buy.

I will then check the list for pricing. Average prices for a large to show sized coral colony range from 30 to 50 bucks.

jandlms ~ Thanks! I will probably do an order next week or maybe the week after. I really have not worked at the store much yet as I am waiting to get some of my tank parameters to fall in line and then get a good amount of corals in stock to play with.

OK peeps its up to you to decide what you are looking for.

*If you are not happy with the coral after you have seen it ~ you won't have to buy it! You don't need to put any money down either to place a request.

*This offer is for FVRC members only!

Cheers,
Spike

I might be ineterested in a candy cane or some favia. I dont need huge show pieces though. Can we get frags or mid size pieces on this deal?

 

[Aquabucket]

Yes.

 

[jmkarcz]

Spike, what about a mixed bage of frags? I can't make up my mind.

Should I just swing in and see you for a list?

J

 

[nellie54914]

There is no list, only Zuul.

 

[iceman5]

is it possible to bring the list due to it bieng so large to the next meeting or is this power buy going to happen before the meeting?
Thanks andrew

Since I'm not good at all the names of all the different varieties of corals, is there a web-site that you can recommend that would have pictures and names of some of the corals that could be ordered from this supplier? Or should we just visit a bunch of sites and pick out some names of corals that look cool?
