Anyone interested in ORGANIZING another Marine Depot group buy?

[Armando]

I need more stuff. But I don't want to organize another GB. Anyone?

[Armando]

bump for the evening crowd

[reefsmurf]

What about premium aquatics instead? :)

[NateHanson]

I'm good for about $100 from MD (I'd have to check PA to see if they have what I need).

Nate

[Armando]

Nate,

Thank you for organizing this :D

PS: Premium Aquatics does not offer free shipping

[NateHanson]

I could probably do it, but Lawrence might not be the most convenient pickup spot for other people if they're around Boston or to the south.

[Armando]

Maybe you could bring it to the december meeting ;)

[NateHanson]

Ok, I guess I'm the pointman for this. The Marine Depot order will be placed on November 22nd (if we have $175 of merchandise). Pickup can be at my house in Lawrence, or at the December meeting. Post here with product number, description, and total price. When it's clear that we're over $175, everyone should send me a check or paypal to my email address. Paypal must include 3% fee. (that's how paypal works, right?) If I don't have your money I won't order your items.

Frag donations are also accepted if you're feeling guilty for taking advantage of my helpfulness :D

Nate

[vng]

Count me in. When is the last date to post order?

[Armando]

Nate,

Thank you for volunteering ;)

The reward for your helpfulness is to keep the free Marine Depot t-shirt :D

[NateHanson]

I'm sure I'll be the coolest one at the dance. :D

[NateHanson]

Count me in. When is the last date to post order?

Payment must be made by Nov 22nd

[Armando]

Ah.. Marine Depot site... it's like a candy store :) Nate I should order around $60 to $100. I'll post the items later.

[NateHanson]

I don't think we'll have any trouble making it to $175!

[Bidadari]

Nate, I'm in as well. I will let you know in the next day or two.

[vng]

Here is my order:

Item # Description Price
eh3590000 Eheim Plant Tongs 14.99
hg11273 3? nylon fish nets .99
hg10801 801 Air pump 4.99
hg10790 battery operate AP 6.99
km3531 Kent Marine Rx-P 8.95
tl3911 Sea veggies clips 1.99
_____
Total 38.90

PM me your address so I can send you the check.

thanks

[Cliff Tishler]

Thanks for organizing this. Her is my order:

Item# Description price
EA1113 media bag $2.25
EA1135 media bag 3.00
SC3191 Seachem deNitrate 6.99
HG17840 Hagen test kit 7.99
HG17850 Hagen test kit 7.99

Total $28.22

I'm happy to mail you a check or drop off the cash. Please confirm deadline.

Thanks.

[NateHanson]

Ok, I've got orders from VNG and Cliff. Everyone please get your shopping lists together and post them here, so I can confirm that we have the $175 order. At that point you can paypal or mail your checks to me (or drop by if you're in the mood for a visit).

The order will be placed on the 22nd, so hopefully I'll be able to confirm that we have a full order in the next couple days, and you folks can get checks in the mail, or cyber-ether, by this weekend.

Thanks, Nate

[Armando]

I am thinking about ordering 3 x 50lbs bags of reactor media so you can bring them to the meeting :D

[NateHanson]

That's fine with me, but it might cost more than a free T-shirt to get me to lug that stuff around! :D

Actually there's plenty of room in my truck, and it'll improve my traction if we have a snowstorm before the next meeting :)

But whatever you're ordering, POST YOUR LIST (even a partial list, you can add more later). So far we aren't over $175 on the confirmed orders, so it would be nice to break that threshhold, so that people who are sending checks can do so this week.

Thanks, Nate

[Armando]

My total right now is $92.97

[NateHanson]

Ok, people can send checks to me or paypal to nathanielrhanson @ yahoo.com (omit spaces) at their convenience.

Feel free to add more stuff if you want. Just post it all here on this thread.

Nate

[amixam98]

Is anyone close to Quincy willing to pick up the stuff for me? I'm not going to the meeting and Lawrence is way too far for me.

[~Flighty~]

You can't get marinedepot live stuff with this order, can you?

[Armando]

only drygoods from them

[NateHanson]

amixam, Armando is downtown, and since he's taken to volunteering me for stuff, I'll happily offer for him to bring your stuff to the South End, where you can more easily pick it up.

:D

[Armando]

And what do I get for my helpfulness?

[amixam98]

A thank you! It's up to armando. I don't want to be a PITA.

[Armando]

Not a problem. I might need something from Quincy ;)

[NateHanson]

And what do I get for my helpfulness?

You get another cookie. :p

[Armando]

I don't eat cookies :P How about a t-shirt? :D

[NateHanson]

That's ok, they're really just dog biscuits anyways, so you can give them to pixel! :D

[Armando]

I might need to order 10 50lbs bags of media :rolleyes:

[NateHanson]

Go ahead, I need the workout. :)

[Cliff Tishler]

Nate

[~Flighty~]

E-mail me if you're not over what is needed for free shipping. We have a bunch of misc stuff to order, but we're trying to keep it simple untill the baby decides to be born.

[NateHanson]

We're over our minimum Cindy, but if you want me to order stuff just let me know by Monday. Good luck on Baby-wait '04. The L-O-N-G-E-S-T two weeks of your life, eh? :)

Nate

[Armando]

I also want to keep it simple so I might order only a 300G SeaClear tank

[NateHanson]

That should fit in my truck Armando (as long as you don't mind getting it in a few pieces).

[Armando]

Maybe I should order some Weldon as well :D

[NateHanson]

And don't forget the cookies you'll owe me! Better get a few boxes. :D

[NateHanson]

By the way, that tort is really coloring up well. Getting nice and dark.

[Armando]

That's great about the tort.

About the cookies, I have some crumbles Pixel let fall on the floor. I'll bring them to you :D

[~Flighty~]

We're over our minimum Cindy, but if you want me to order stuff just let me know by Monday. Good luck on Baby-wait '04. The L-O-N-G-E-S-T two weeks of your life, eh? :)

NateTwo weeks? try about fourty. I'm 36 weeks today! Trying to talk the little bugger into staying at least one more week. I'm not sure how he feels about that, but we want him to be fully cooked.

Because of the Thanksgiving delivery schedule, the order will be placed on Wednesday (24th), so people can continue to add new orders. The order will arrive at Ray's in Peabody on Tuesday the 30th. You can either pick up from him, or pick up at the December meeting.

So far I have confirmed orders from Bidadari, Me, Armando (paid), Reefsmurf, Daire (paid), Cliff, and vng (partially paid). Your stuff will be ordered, and you can add more until Wednesday.

New people placing orders should paypal their payment to me by Wednesday.
