    Right now I am trying to get some people interested & committed.

    Like I said, there is a small window time to choose your corals & place the order. If we can get enough people interested, we will try an order in a couple of weeks. But they have to ship a full box which is close to 30 pieces.

    Will our group (if we have enough interested) be the only ones to be choosing from that lis for that weekt? Also, would the corals be shipped to a central location (your store) or to each persons' home? If the selection is always as good as what I saw on the list above, I'll probably second mortgage our house and order! lol I will let you know whether I'm in or not as soon as possible:0) Have to get some zzzzzzzzzzzz's! Thanks for presenting this to us Craig!

    Most are maricultured (farmed in the ocean).

    This list goes out usually every other week on a Tuesday or Wednesday, and they send it to wholesalers all over the world, so it is first come first serve. So when we do it, we will have to plan ahead, and order quick. Orders are due by Friday, they ship out Saturday, the arrive in Los Angeles on a Sunday where an imported checks them in, rebags them, and puts them on a plane to me for Monday.

    Realistically I will put together a list of people who is willing, then as soon as the list comes out, we can pull the trigger and hopefully get what we want.

    All corals would come to my store yes, the shipping is figured into the price I quote.

    So I can try to get a good idea Craig :0), prices:

    662
    663
    667
    668
    683
    687
    727
    733
    734
    809
    815
    816
    826
    827
    832
    917
    918
    938
    944
    947
    948
    950

    When the list is presented, we tell you the number, you tell us the price and then we either accept or pass...correct?

    Do the stock lists / aquaria differ greatly from week to week? Thanks Craig!

    One thing people might consider is sharing the cost of an item with someone(s) else (with same/ similar tastes) to decrease the upfront cost:0) Of course people would need to hash things out on how they would approach that kind of arrangement :0)
