Marinemix Crystal Sea Bio-Assay SALT

[Alfredo De La Fe]

Hey guys:

If I can get enough people to buy 50 cartons of Marinemix Crystal Sea Bio-Assay salt I can sell them for $30.00 each (including shipping). I can take 2, anyone else interested? This is the salt which had the best results in Ron Shimek's study.

If we can get an order for 50 cartons I think we will all be able to benefit from a significant price break and improve the quality of the environment our reef organisms live in.

Please send me an email or call if interested.

How much salt? 200 gallons for $30?

this tuff only did slightly better than the stuff espi sells. and he can get us corals at very very low prices. he only charges a 33 percent markup. even lets you look at the rescept. 200 * 50 = 10,000 gallon worth of salt. sounds like a lot to me, and I am a jew, I like saving by buying in bulk.

the stuff alfredo is gonna get is for 150 gallons. Also id like to point out to everyone since we are sort of a reef club here. That if you buy 50 buckets you can get it from the manufacturer for 21 dollars and the shipping is free on teh whole pallet.

So if anyoen is interested maybe we could get a group buy going and not have anyone make a profit off of each other.

that's a cool idea, but I would rather get the stuff htta has the build in dechlorinator just in case. however i only have small tanks. so i could only get one bucket.

It is $21.99 per carton and shipping is free on 50. The only thing you need to realize is that the delivery service just delivers to the curb or to a loading dock. I am not trying to make a profit, just cover the expense of having two of my employees receive the delivery and bring up all of the salt to the office. (We just have a freight elevator, no loading dock, and my office is not equipped to accept a pallet.)

This is considerably less than paying for freight from a vendor. I have received pallet loads of equipment in the past, it is a lot of work to unload 50 boxes of salt and lug them up to the 12th floor of an office building using a freight elevator. Plus, some people that live upstate would find it more convenient to pick it up at my home (upper Manhattan) so I plan on using the company truck to bring whatever is being picked up from home to my apartment.

On 50 cartons I think it works out to something like $300. I make more money than that on selling a couple of telephones (my business) in 1/1000 of the time. I added a few dollars to the "true" cost to cover the expenses that will be incurred. If you are willing to handle all of the above, distributing the salt for the $21.99 a carton and dishing out the $1,200 to place the order, I would be more than happy to let you manage the order..

I'll give it a go. If this comes together, I'm in for one. Thanks Alf.

 

[House of Laughter]

Count me in too for at least one.

I'm in for 2 (maybe more) if you get enough people to get a pallet.

 

[Alfredo De La Fe]

Waiting to get a couple more people on board for the order. Hopefully I can make it this week. Anyone here can come up with some of the $$$ before hand? $1,200.00 is a big hit to the trusty ol' credit card.

[Satchmo]

I only need one, so I don't know what kind of dent I'm gonna put in the $1200, but if you let me know how much, I'd be happy to paypal it to you.

Just so I know I have this correct, the groupbuy would be $30.00 / 150 gal mix of Marinemix Crystal Sea Bio-Assay salt to be picked up @ Alfredo's in NYC?
I would be in for three (3).
I think we're still way short of the min. 50. I live in North Jersey and own a truck. I would be willing to pick up a bunch of orders in NYC for those of us in North NJ if it helps get more people in on this buy.

 

[Stix]

How about getting people from other boards too?

 

[wedfr]

alfredo have you ordered yet or plan on ordering any time soon?

 

[House of Laughter]

Any progress on this?

[Satchmo]

Is this a bust? I'm going to need more salt, so if this isn't coming to pass soon I'll have to back out.

 

[firefish15]

I hope you get enough buyers. If you do, I'll take four.

 

[Pseudo]

I would be in for 1 bag maybe 2 depending on when you order. When would you be doing this?
