Alright everyone! Way to go Kim and thanks to all who have joined thus far!!! I am going to get on the horn with my supplier and see how many we can get our hands. This way if more want to join, I will know if that is even going to be possible this go around. I would like to have everyones payment in by Saturday so that I have the money in my account and will be ready to get the order done on Monday. I would expect that once the order has been placed that I should have them in by mid week. I am then going to let them settle for a day or two, take some pics, and do a drawing for who gets to pic first!!! Cross your fingers Paypal payments can be sent to garrettm85@hotmail.com If you can send the payment under the personal tab as a gift or payment owed, that would be much appreciated. I don't get charged a fee if it goes that route though if that isn't an option or doesn't work well for you then sending it the regular way is of course perfectly fine. Also if you could put both your PNWMAS username and your real life name and phone number, email address, etc. in the subject or details area of the transaction that would be great. It will help me keep everything nice and organized Thanks!!!

Looks great Kim! Thanks for posting this up. Based on the stock that I received last week, I would imagine everyone will be very pleased with what they get! I will be doing the order next week or the week after depending on how quickly we can get everyone on board. Great opportunity here guys so don't miss out!!

I think I am around 5 or so though I am not sure because some people are 50/50 lol. A list of who is definatley in would be great. I know those who posted that they are definately in did so in this thread so it should be pretty easy to compile.

Thanks for the awesome feedback guys! I appreciate it! Glad to get your guys down here and loaded up with critters Gill, you gotta stop by again soon. You were awesome to chat with!!! See you Sunday Shane!!

Very nice! Glad to hear they have worked out well. Sounds like the blue tang needed a friend

Thanks for making the trip down and grabbing some goodies!! I hope the purple firefish comes out for you more. Never fun to get an awesome fish and then have it hide a bunch lol. So many awesome rics!!! It will be great to have you guys down again.

Need about 4-5 more in on this and then it's a go for sure. Souns good David!

They will get about 4-5" from what I understand.

It's a Maxi Mini. I wann see a pic of that beauty in a couple of days (rock2)(clap)(drooler)

I would like to get a list of those that are definatley in on this so that I know this is something that I am going to be able to pull off. Then I will toss out a paypal address for everyone to send their funds over to and then we can get this order placed I am thinking that I would like everyone who is definatley in to confirm by Friday the 14th. This should be fun. These maxi-minis are pretty cool. I like them alot better than any of the other mini carpets that I have had in the past.

The prepaid price would be either $35 if you want an A grade or $50 if you want an ultra grade. This will make it a bit more simple when it comes down to the math and will make it easier when it comes to ordering as well. Sounds good Mick

I am thinking 10 prepaid would be a good target to get this thing going. A raffle would be a good idea. I can take pics(though maybe not the best) and then they can be spoken for in the same order as the raffle names drawn. The maximum would be $50.

Wanna trade for fish, inverts and coral???

+1 !!! Thanks for all of your hard work Jay!!!

I am guessing that if I can get enough to join, I could probably get the A grades at $35 and the Ultras at $50 and I am hoping to get some of the hand picked but those I can't price until I get them and get the bill

Unfortunatley I have no way of knowing what I am getting before they come in. I can request a certain number of each type of grade but even then beauty and grade in this case can be in the eye of the beholder so to speak. Prices will probably be about $10 a piece cheaper with a group buy. I am more concerned about making sure people are cool with not knowing what they are going to get then the price. I am thinking it's almost going to be sort of a grab bag syle group buy. Once I get them, I will grade them based on what was ordered and what comes in and those that ordered ultra would get one of the ultra and those that ordered grade A would get grade A, etc. Mick, it would probably go down in about two weeks depending on how many want in on the group buy.

Adding a few specials to the top of the thread. Sorry I have been really busy and haven't had any time for pictures :( It looks like I am going to have to see what I can do about a group buy here Here is the issue... I don't really know what colors and grades I am going to get until I unpack the boxes. I will then have to grade them based off of what is in the box and the quantity of each and grade of each that I ordered. I am also concerned that if I do this that there will be some folks that don't get the colors that they really want or that get something with red stripes when they wanted a solid pattern or a 2" bright one comes in vs. a 5" that someone wanted, etc. That being said, if people are willing to commit, I can start to get a system together and get some things in the works. Prices will be between $40-$70 for them and of course the price will depend on what comes in. I pay differently depending on the grade so I will charge accordingly. I may be getting them from a couple of sources so there could be some nice diversity to be had. What are all of your thoughts?

I love the new Kent. It seems to work just as well as the old stuff. I think it might just be the old stuff with a better looking label and maybe a few increased lvls? Anyhow, I have lots in for you next time you visit Trent

Looks like the pics are going to have to wait just a bit longer... I am hoping to have a few up by the end of today lol. Thanks guys!! You guys are always a pleasure to have over!!!
