Splittin' a frag order to save on shipping?

[amheck]

Hey guys,

I was thinking about going in on a 6 for $100 deal with this guy.

Assuming he still has the stuff I want. Just curious if anyone else wanted to get a pack, then we could split the shipping. Frags seem to be very coloful, nice size, and a couple freebies thrown in.

If anyone's interested, LMK asap, cause I'm probably going to try and get something going in the next day or so.

Im in Brandon.. I havent contacted the guy yet because I still havent decided for sure

Hey guys. I'm like 5 minutes max from FAOIS, if that gives you any idea.

I heard from 2 others who wanted to get in on it. SOrry I haven't gotten back to you both. The seller has been pretty busy. I have our list, and he's promised to put aside what we requested, but asked for a few more days to get everything shipped out. I guess he was pretty busy. Since I wasn't in a rush, I told him no problem.

I was going to get a 6 pack for $100, and the two others wanted 3 each (so that's another 6 for $100). So it's basically it was going to be $100 for me, $50 for each of them, $20 for me for shipping, and $10 for each of the other two for shipping. That was going to get 12 frags, plus the seller is supposidly pretty generous with freebies, so I was hoping for 1 of those for each of us.

Like I said in another thread, I just got some other frags from a guy in Lakeland, so I'm not super rushed to do this, but I hear really good things about this seller, so I'm kinda curious to see his livestock.

I was just going to pay for the whole thing on my credit card, and then get cash from everyone later. I assume if you tell me you for sure want them, then your word is good.

For the two guys that were interested, sorry for not keeping up with you. I've just been waiting on him and I'll check in to see if you're still interested when I hear back from him.

I am still in ok Aaron.

 

[poknsnok]

I just contacted him.. he has what I want.. In good on going in. Im in Brandon... pm me those interested

 

[DaddyJax]

I am still in also...right?!

 

[amheck]

you are!

 

[amheck]

Ok guys, heard back from the seller. He apparently ran out of the one coral I really wanted. I was a little bummed, but he has enough other stuff so I think I'll be able to find something.

Here's my 3:

A. Efflo, Blue tipped
Echinophillia, Orange and green
Mounted bright yellow stylophora

Does everyone else mind listing what they want here, and then we can go from there? I have DaddyJax's and LandDragon's list, but I just want to make sure I have the most updated list.

[landragon]

mine has not changed. any three of the four i selected will be fine.

 

[poknsnok]

Im good with my order... has all i want but one... I can substitute

both efflo (2)
tan stag-1
green cap (1)
tabling validia (1)
blue digi (1)

 

[poknsnok]

shall we go for it??

 

[amheck]

Ok, so we have:

Me:
A. Efflo, Blue tipped
Echinophillia, Orange and green
Mounted bright yellow stylophora

Poknsnok:
both efflo (2)
tan stag-1
green cap (1)
tabling validia (1)
blue digi (1)

DaddyJax:
Tyree blue chalice, Blue tipped efflo, Yellow stylo.

landragon:
photo gorgo and tyree blue chalice.
Poccilipora Damicornis green polyp, pink base,limited

So that's 2 1/2 six-packs. I'm guessing it should be $60 per 3. So that's $60 for myself, landragon, and Daddyjax, and $120 for poknsnok. And I'm pretty sure we will get 4 freebies, so we'll each get an extra.

If everyone is ok with that, I'll PM him asap.

Aaron

 

[poknsnok]

good for me.. I sent him a pm... should be 100 for me..... 6 for 100 right?.. and 50 each for the other 2 orders... unless your factoring frt..

 

[amheck]

Yes, I was factoring in shipping. I think its about $45-$50, so $10x3 plus $20x1 (for 6 frags versus 3) should cover it.

 

[landragon]

still good here.

 

[poknsnok]

have you guys paid him?? Im getting ready to. and where and when do we want to ship?

 

[amheck]

I haven't paid him yet. Does he want seperate payments or all in one? I don't mind fronting the money as long as everyone can bring cash when we meet up.

I'm also home all day to receive packages. Up to you guys.

 

[landragon]

I thought that is what you stated earlier Amheck. I have not paid yet.
