Okay, so on 6 buckets I might save $120, or $20 per month. Is that signifcant to me? Nope. I still don't get it.

What brand name are we ordering? I see only Emilyb's order says "Kent."

I want mine to be Kent too, please ....

The economic benefit of course is greater for those ordering multiple buckets... a smaller saving for those ordering only 1 or 2, if indeed these larger 200gal buckets are scarce now, as some have said. But 20 bucks is 20 bucks...

I haven't been shopping lately - last I heard when Gold had the big buckets they were $69 or so? Anyone have current pricing around town? What is our savings here?

BTW - I would also prefer Kent.

And has anyone approached Nate about special pricing? Maybe Big Al's would like to support the local reefing community and offer a bulk discount on buckets. How cool would THAT be? OR Pisces, or any store for that matter...

Just a thought... we could show them our cool T-shirt for legitimacy.

Emily sure knows what is costsaving. but she think 20 bucks is nothing to her... so no one in this board should try to offer her any bargain because she absolutely don't needs it. people talk like this in the forum makes me SICK. when people try to save other members some money, all of a sudden she post things that contribute NOTHING to this thread.

simply, if you wish not to participate into this group buy, just don't post!! you think people in this forum have to listen to your eager/??

lastly, I feel sorry that others have to read this (because this post have nothing to do with salt orders either), but as some of you knows, i rarely post nowadays and this sickens me. and sure, you should talk to Nate about group discount. I will now shut up. thank you.

Umm, you might want to edit your post now, as it adds nothing to the discussion itself - isn't that what you're trying to criticize??

What I would like to see instead is, "Here's what I propose on behalf of my store - a deal for salt for $XX, and a local pickup." Isn't that more like what you wanted to say before you got all frustrated?

Why would you send us to the competition? You're not making sense, man - give it a re-think and let's see what productive contribution you can make to the "club" here and a potential client base. Sound good?

Thanks!

I just put in a call to Pisces and Mike will see what he can come up with prices for say a 24 bucket order. He said Kent may be a little higher.

I think we should give him a chance to get us some numbers before another LFS is involved, since he was eager enough to do it, and even unaware we had a club.
