Are those wholesale prices? Seem a bit high for rbta

That covers the shipping and cost of nem. Theses are really nice ones not standard red. I've seen and saved several reputable retailers selling at 60+ for same quality.

Preface: please don't read this as rude, as I know sometimes things typed online can be taken the wrong way..

There are many of us here that have bought from a wholesaler before and are familiar with the prices.

Having said that, it seems only fair to give people the real prices and split the shipping with however many people join into your buy... Or for you to offer to pay a larger portion of shipping since you might be ordering more for yourself to keep/resell.

Otherwise, it could have the appearance of making money off the members here.

You must be a business of some sort to have the ability to buy wholesale.. So be upfront about your business, sell at your designated prices (such as the prices listed), and leave the wholesaler out of it.

We all appreciate that things can't always be at cost to help cover shipping or for a LFS to make a small profit to keep their operation afloat..etc.

But we all also appreciate honesty and being straightforward.

Not accusing you of anything, so again, please don't take the wrong way.

Just trying to give you another perspective.

The way it is currently worded could give the appearance of impropriety.

What would be great is to give our club an introduction to who you are, your tanks, etc and maybe come to the next meeting. I'm sure if you wanted to do a group buy, we could get some people rallied behind it once everyone knows you a bit better.

Hope this provides a little helpful insight. Have a great day.

No offense taken my friend.
I attended the last meeting in Manchester. I was the lucky raffle winner a few times and helped my friend Gerry with the fragging. I do not own a business however I have several friends that do. With that being said the price of 50$ for a rainbow bubble tip appears to be less than any other retaile online or locally. Nothing shady going on just trying to offer those who otherwise wouldn't be able to buy one of this quality locally an opportunity. I do not make the profit what I do get is exclusivity to order from his list for my personal tanks for a small fee. To verify I was being ripped off or others I looked at the top online retailers such as liveaquaria.com (120-80$) barrierreefaquariums.com(89.99), neptunescove.net (100+$) and locally petco (89.99+), Vernon wet pets (80-120$), Krystal clear auburn (120$), dinkys reptile and aquatics ($65). If u have other insight as to what would be a fair market value or a place for me to purchase them locally or online for better rate I'm all ears. Me buyjng for 50$ I thought was a steal for me I could be wrong. Plus me helping out all parties and delivering and ordering on my dime at 9.2mpg to make some local connections and friends was even sweeter.

Hello my names Kevin Vinal I live in Plainfield ct. I own a 150 gallon deep reef and a 28 gallon nano reef that's my wife's. I also recently purchased a 60 rimless cube from a friend in nj that I'm picking up in few weeks. Last time we met my wife was pregnant and since we have given birth to an amazing little boy.
Hope this clears somethings up for u and if u have any insight please shoot me text at 8603825870 I'd love to chat.

If you are being charged $50 by your friends and passing that on, that's different. We've seen alot try to bump the prices to make money off of club members..so just looking out for the best interests of the club.

Nice to meet you Kevin, do you have a build thread we can check out?
