Critter group buy?

[Josh]

Would anyone be interested in a cleanup crew/critter group buy? I have a couple of connections for extremely cheap inverts including the following:

blue leg hermits
mexican red leg hermits
zebra hermits
astrea snails
bumblebee snails
peppermint shrimp
emerald crabs
sea cucumbers
arrow crabs

Let me know if you are interested and I will start getting pricing.

Thanks,
Josh

Here are the prices I have thus far:

Peppermint Shrimp: $3
Serpent Star: $5
Cucumber: $3
Blue Leg hermits: $1
Cerith Snails: $1
Feather Duster: $4
Emerald Crab: $4
Nassarius snails: $1
Queen Conch: $4
Scarlet hermits: $2
Turbo snail: $1

Basically, we need to order over 100 of each with the exception of the ones that are more than $2. I am proposing buying 100 each of the following:

Turbo snails (Atlantic): 100
Scarlet hermits: 100
Blue Leg hermits: 100
Cerith snails: 100
Nassarius snails: 100

If you are interested, please let me know what you want. Given the fact that this is going to cost about $600, I need to set a minimum order of $50/person. The prices are cheap enough to make it worth your while. If you want any of the other items let me know and I will try and figure that out as well.

Thanks,
Josh

The thing is I really don't need that many snails, and really woukld like more choice as to what kinds I can get. what do y'all think?

 

[Josh]

Well, to begin with, shipping is included. Also, I adjusted the prices a bit to cover the shipping even if we only order say 200 critters. If we actually get 400 or more, the actual price of several of the critters will fall to $.75.

That being said, how about everyone send me a list of what they might want and I can compute the actual price. Since there are so many options we need to decide what types of animals we want to get and I will work up the price.

I haven't yet spoken to the supplier about a bulk discount above and beyond the base price, so it may be even cheaper. We're still in exploratory mode here.
