nope, but they are out in LA, shipping those large tanks would add about $150 to those prices, and that's if they would crate it for you.

I like glasscages.com, they have drop off points near us so shipping is just $50. and you can customize it.

 

[stingnyc]

did you findout how much the shipping is? i think they are in ca.

They also got great deal on JBJ chiller.
JBJ Chillers 1/10 $399 1/5 $499 1/4 $549 1/3 $620.

Wow, there are some cheap price for live stock in that listing.

The price for the acrylic tanks are also really cheap. Not sure how realistic would be for a wholesaler to stock 58 (yes, I counted) tanks larger than 180, that would take a lot of space to do.

OK, everyone, I would like to lead a group buy for this one.

Please list your wishes. I will put them in my club in Brooklyn so you guys have more flexibility to pick up. Please remember to provide some margins for the stuff that are DOA.

I myself needs tons of things from them.
List in my seperate thread pls.

Wingo,
Your GB is for livestock or drygoods?

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Hmmm maybe I should buy the "slump" or maybe a few "clown louches" They can't spell their own livestock.

Minimum order is $500 plus shipping. That's alot of stuff to buy! I got an Idea, aske a vendor here if they can match the prices posted and support one of our own.

Both. I am buying a lot of rocks, some sand and a bunch of fish for my very empty virgin tank and a soon to be setup tank in my club HAHA. My partner is going to love this one. I can tell them the cost just went down 50%:tongue1:

Chief., support me then. This way I don't have to go Westchester or wake up while I just started to sleep for trading.:Lurking: :Starwars::joke: :joke:

 

[jnfallon]

I'm interested in group buy. Need mostly fish, but not sure I can spend the $500 minimum.

Tagging along.

i would be weary of them. unless they have a legit site, i would not spend money on anything on craigslist that i cannot pick up in person. risky if you ask me, and with all of the craigslist fraud out there, just watch out k

I found this note on top of their live stock list,

FULL INVENTORY
list

Our minimum order on our full inventory list is $500 plus shipping and handling,
we prefer local pick-up. (local order pick-up minimum is $250) All of our live stock
is shipped over night with UPS.

You can place your order by phone or e mail. Yes we do ship WITH IN THE U.S.
PLEASE CALL 562 787 6022 ERIC or email us [email protected]

Note: there will be a 35% sub charge on the items as follow:

NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

I was going to get Queen and bule face angle, but 35% sub-charge and next day
shipping will not make any cheaper than fishtown price.
Hope I am wrong.

wingo maybe you can talk the guy into letting you do freight instead of the subcharge?
i don't see why they doing all shipments UPS -ONLY for $500+ order where UPS overnight would get close to $400-500 for overniting 2-3 double boxes of livestock ...

air freight is the only real way to do a wholesale buy , LAX to JFK or LGA

(caveat emptor: picking up cargo at LGA is chaotic as the stupid cab drivers honk at you when you go into cargo like you're a stupid while THEY are the ones perpetually blocking the cargo driveways LOL)

or just ask deep for a similar group deal, i bet he has similar price lists if not better la ws'ers r a dime a dozen, my friend out in LA gets everything for me ws but then i still gotta pay fedex overnight, freight is the only way to really $ave. just my 2 cents. dang them west coast peeps got it made.
