SouthDown Natural Play Sand

[havoc1010]

I am speaking to a home depot manager in central florida. He said he is pretty sure he may be able to get southdown/yardright/oldcastle natural playsand. He said it would either be a one time deal and I would have to buy a 1/2 pallet or he could stock it. If he was to get a half pallet I would need to get people together for a order of sand. For you who do not know about this sand, it is a 100% araganite sand (carribean sand) that is sold in 50lb bags for less then $5. What a sweet deal I must say! So whoever is in the central florida region and wants to participate please reply here or send me a PM. Thank You!

BTW this HD is in Brevard county.

I will take 6 bags also.

Well so far i have 43 bags that are waiting to be sold. Now I have to get with the guy at HD to place the order. Hopefully we don't have to pay shipping. If we do it may raise the price of the sand a couple dollars, nothing to worry about.

Actually, make mine six! TIA!

 

[havoc1010]

WOW!! With all these people wanting this product, I wonder why HD doesn't stock it normally. Once I get the shippment ordered it will arrive in Melbourne, FL. The HD is on 192, near the mall.

There are 2 HUGE of reasons to stock it:
1.) For aquariums
2.) For Sand boxes because it contains no silica (silica has been linked to lung cancer)

 

[gruiz1122]

We know, but it competes with the sales of "aquarium grade" aragonite sand which is upwards of $15 a bag for around 20-30 lbs of the stuff. I think that's why they don't stock it here in FL.

 

[havoc1010]

isn't that what America is all about? Competition...

 

[gruiz1122]

Yeah, but monopolies do slip in here and there!

 

[havoc1010]

I know you can go to any home depot in the north east as far south as Tenn. and get it from any HD. Thats what I don't get.....Is "aquarium sand" non existent up there?
