power buys (like reefs.org)

[titus]

Hello,

Members:
If you have other wants, you may continue to list them here on this thread.

Retailers and Members:
Okay now wait a minute retailers. Let's take things one step at a time. We first need to figure out which items are the ones most needed and then pick a retailer to sponsor that Power Buy event. Having everyone jump in competing like this won't work. Besides, this forum is for members to post discussions and the products they are interested in, not a public bidding or advertisement vehicle for retailers to offer stuff for sale. Case in point, I don't even do it myself here. For future offers, please do so in the Vendor Announcemnt forums for non advertisement oriented posts.

As for the process of Power Buys and how it works, let me give an example. I approached reefs.org earlier this month inquiring about their Power Buy. I was actually trying to figure out how it works because of the level of interest on this board also. What happens is that they host a Power Buy for 1 - 2 retailers each month. For example, for the month of Oct 02, we've arranged to have Canreef to offer the Model 2 Ca Reactor as a Power Buy and they have another retailer to do a Power Buy on the CO2 part. So this way the Power Buy is offered in a controlled manner and the sponsoring retailers (yes I have to pay $100 for a month of ad, they say normally it's $300) can "work together" to deliver goods to customers.

So please hold off from posting your offers here until you have replied to the e-mail I sent to you today. For SWC, I got your reply and will reply to you once I've gotten a response from the other retailers. And AquariumPros.ca, wait out also and I'll contact you. In any event, I'll keep all of you (retailers and members) in the loop on this.

Thanks,
Titus.
