      Orange storm/ mocha storm clown fish group buy 2.0

      The price posted is per fish guys. Sorry. I’m trying to see if they can do any better.

      Anyone who wants a fish please text me and PayPal me. When I have the funds I will place the order.

      As a reference many stores sell these for $380 per pair. Online stores are going $300+ per fish. That’s why they aren’t more flexible, but if I get people onboard for more fish (waiting to see how many more they will let me order), then I’m hoping they can go a little lower on the price. They’re pretty adamant about the current price, so I’m thinking it will be a small percentage if at all.

      I want to get this order in by tomorrow or Saturday. The sooner we order the better chance we have of other people not buying us out 👍🏽

      As long as you Pay I’m willing to hold them. But just know I won’t guarantee their lives after 5 days (the seller’s warranty). That risk is on the people once they pick up, which is why we do the group buy. Everyone picks up the day of.

      The reason we get it so cheap is because we’re taking full responsibility. What I can say is they have a DOA guarantee and a 5 day policy on livestock.

      Vs a store like Per Kingdom ($200 per fish) who assumes the risk. That’s why they charge more. If they lose a fish they recoup the profit loss by selling the other fish for a higher price.

      Orange storm/ mocha storm clown fish group buy 2.0

      Alright everyone, still waiting to hear back from the supplier on if I can add more to the order/ get a better price.

      As of right now 2 pairs of the orange storms and 3 pairs of the mocha storms are still available.

      One person is ordering the black storm and I will order more if requested.

      Delivery will probably be Wednesday (sorry phong).

      Just heard back.

      8 pairs of each can be ordered(16 orange/ 16 mochas). Cost will include shipping.

      Orange storms: $230/ pair or $115 for one.

      Mocha Storms: $160/ pair or $80 for one.

      Black storms: $130 for that one fish lol. $260 if anyone wants a pair

      She is already asking for payment so the sooner the better. At this point 4 pairs of oranges are available and 5 pairs of mochas are available. If we can’t get all fish ordered then price reverts back to the one posted initially

      Orange storm/ mocha storm clown fish group buy 2.0

      Update:

      I heard back from a different vendor with a better deal.

      CONS:

      -there is only a DOA guarantee. If something happens within 24 hours they might replace the fish if given enough evidence, so we will have to see how that goes.

      -We need to have enough people for the buy, and we will probably pay taxes. 8%

      -there is no quarantine process or observation time. Sea and reef sends directly to me (this part is good and bad).

      -no wiggle room on black storms. They are apparently almost sold out. $140

      -we won’t know the exact delivery date, it might be this upcoming week, or it might be 3 weeks from now, but I can REQUEST another Wednesday afternoon.

      The reasons this might be a better option:

      -apparently sea and reef is going to send the best clowns they have due to their relationship with that vendor.

      -$180 for a pair ($90 for one) orange storm clown

      -$160 for a pair ($80 for one) mocha storm clown

      -These prices include shipping, and They also order directly from Sea and Reef.






      I asked the original vendor if she will match their price. I’m waiting to hear back and I would actually really love to work with her after the effort she put in to work with me. She has been communicating with me since I contacted her 4 days ago, where this other guy barely got back to me today.
      Cons:

      -she’s more expensive (for now).

      Pros:

      -We know that if we put in the order now we will get the fish on Wednesday.

      -She has a 5 day guarantee on her fish.

      -she has quarantined and observed them already.

      -spending more money to have a guarantee on the fish is better than just losing out on $180 after 1 day (if they even take care of us on that one day)

      In any case, there are ALMOST enough people to place the order now, so let’s hear opinions and come to a decision.

      Everyone who has already paid will get whatever refund is due to them.

      I want to go for the original vendor even though it is more expensive. I like the 5 days quarantee. That means the fish will likely turn up at your doorstep healthy. A dead cheap fish is not worth it, especially for the fish.
      Just try to persuade the original vendor for a bit of a discount and ask her for the best looking fish.

      I agree man. I am really hoping she can work with me, but we have to make it worth her while for the order.


      At the end of the day they are both offering replacement fish if one doesn’t make it. I feel that if fish survive the first day they will most likely continue to survive if our water parameters are good. However, I do prefer the 5 day guarantee and I’m waiting to see how she counters the other offer.

      I agree with you Cyberguy. Maybe fight a little for a discount or see if they can sweeten the pot for large sale. If not then it is what it is, at least it’s a shot.

      Oh I’m asking and hoping she matches. I want to give her our business.

      So which would you prefer?

      I know they’re expensive, but let’s remember how much they retail for.


      After this idk if I’ll ever do another group order lol. This is so time consuming and stressful 😂
