Any Interest in Another I/O Group Buy?

[Pinkskunk]

i hear you Marco, with shipping nowaday, that box weight alone cost that much to ship. and i was having a hard time selling my 200 gal bucket at $40.

 

[coolwater]

if good price i would take 6+

 

[coolwater]

im in for 6+

 

[sw300galma]

Count me in for 3 - depends on pickup location

I think we are close to 50.

 

[Armando]

i'd be in for 1x200G

bumping it up to 2x200G

 

[ReeferMedic]

I'll take at least 2 boxes/buckets, depending on price.

 

[clamm]

Conservatively I'm counting 56.

 

[Troubleman]

Didn't see mine on the list......and for the price I might as well grab 2....if we ever get a price that is.

No sponsor has been willing to sign on to this, so I'm wondering what we can do to keep this moving. There's definitely the demand. Anyone have any ideas?

Dr. Foster & Smith sells the 160G bucket for $33.99 each. I added 10 to my cart and the shipping was only $13.99. That would make each bucket only $35.39. I tried 15 buckets and the shipping was still only $13.99 which would $34.92 per bucket.

I know it's not as much salt as the 200G boxes but it's a decent price. A reefer in each area could order 10-15 buckets for reefers around them.

That sounds like a mistake in the shipping price, but that sort of mistake has been taken advantage of for salt orders in the past. Give it a try and see if the order goes through.

Has anyone contacted some LFS directly? Sometimes they just don't look at stuff like this often enough. I think a number of them have offered prices like this in the past (either for sales, or BRS specials) so I'd be suprised if someone wouldn't do something like $40 for the 200g boxes.

i got I/o from fosters and smith and only paid regular shipping(not overweight)

I posted a link to this I/O wish list in the Skiptons forum this morning as they were asking about a possible group buy

 

[JayG]

Dr. Foster & Smith no longer charges extra for overweight items so the shipping cost is correct on their site.

Great. All you need to do now is add 50 more and checkout. Pickup next meeting?

 

[REEFSKI]

Ok. Since theres some interest in I/O I will be offering a group buy. Check on my forum for details. Instant Ocean Group Buy.
