Any good deals out there??

[Agu]

I noticed on another thread that petwarehouse is selling Maxijets cheap, $15 for a 1200, http://www.petwarehouse.com/webstore/webstore.nsf/(id)/1248E?OpenDocument

Any other deals you've come across that you'll share with fellow RC'ers??

Ocean Nutrition FLAKE food (not frozen) -
Formula 1 & 2, Prime Reef, Brine Shrimp
2.2 oz. = $1 (that's right - just 100 pennies)
5.3 oz. = $2 (not listed on website, but on phone owner told me about it)

WARNING - I just bought my first fish and had no idea how much 5.3 oz. of flakes is. IT'S A LOT!

a Suggestion - every 2 weeks this thread will be reset ?

easier than going through 50 pages to find a deal ?

as I know deals dont last - threads do.

[mr_mbuna]

I just want to let you guys know I have two pet industry wholesalers' price books on my computer here, and deal like the Formula flake foods are way below cost.

2.2 oz Formula One - Wholesales at $3.85

Just to give an example.

So don't go "hog wild" - you'll do more harm than good if you don't buy other stuff too.

[SunfishFun]

True, mbuna. I hope people check out other stuff while they're at a site checking out the "super deal." I wrote about Reefgeek under Vendors b/c they always carry great products like Salifert kits, Maxijets, SeaChem meds, but for this thread I just mentioned their October special on food. I had just placed a big order w/ another company so all I purchased was this food. Although I know Reefgeek didn't make any money on this deal, they did get my attention and the opportunity for me to speak to owner on the phone and now I would like to support this company in the future. Without this sale, I would have probably just stuck with the larger companies I had already used before.

Now I see it:)

Why do you say that? The site says "IceCap 660 with 4 German Endcaps $170" I even added it to my cart and it came up with the same thing. Did it do something different for you?

Can someone maybe explain how the e-coupons I posted earlier for Lampsnow work? I've never shopped there before but they keep sending me these coupons and people are emailing me now asking how the coupons work. I don't know, I've never used one before. I always assumed you just mention the code when you place your order, that's my guess.

Here is the one post about Royal Camera.com on Resellerrating.com website.

Comment From User: (WebBuyer)
Fri Jul 27 19:03:57 2001

I recently tried to purchase a high end video camera from these people – even though I had read the reviews (found this site today!) and knew what to expect. I was in no hurry for the camera and wanted to buy some accessories (but never an extended warranty) anyway. I place my order on their web site along with reasonably priced accessories. I included in my order comments a legal statement that the item can’t be gray market, must be used, unopened, with full US manufacturers warranty, etc. etc. Then I waited by my email account for the efax voice mail message to come in (never give our your real phone number). Sure enough – about 2 hours later – there it was. “Please call to confirm your order�. I called, and the script started. The price offered was for a gray market camera with a non-English user’s manual. They can sell me the US version for $1000+ more, and accessories, accessories, accessories, extended warranty, etc. If I had ordered with them it would have cost over a thousand extra – and I had done my homework and knew I could get the US product for less. Like everyone here with a similar story – stay away from this company.


Sounds to good to be true? Usually means it is!

[fade2black]

Good catch myreef :) Maybe you could use their price for a pricematch with Amex. Just an idea.

- Fade

[dsb1829]

Sign up with ZDnet Rewards and you can get the same pricematching without an extra credit card. I haven't used it yet, but will be submitting for a camera that I just bought.

[Cookoopod]

Since you all are on the cam subject, just wanted to let you know I did some diggin in on those online cam shops (ie Royal Camera). Those places are a total scam (switch and bait outfits). There are hundreds of awful reviews like the one my reef quoted. Also, I tried the price match thing with other companies. The legitimate ones won't match those scam outfit prices.

[SawCJack00]

For SPS lovers, http://www.lonestarcorals.com/ has very nice package deals at 5 aquacultured frags for $135 and 10 frags for $235. This includes shipping, and John usually throws in some freebies. I'm getting my second order a week from tomorrow, and John has been the most customer oriented business owner that I've ever dealt with (not to say that others haven't been great also:D ). He has some very nice unusual SPS available.

Yeah, let's make it a FORUM! There are a lot of good deals that are getting lost in this thread I think. It would be easier to find good deals if each one had it's own thread.

I agree, fantastic thread. A forum would be even better.

[fade2black]

I posted a message in the feedback forum here (http://archive.reefcentral.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=40158) before this thread got started and JohnL said they would "give it some thought".

OK, enough thinking already!! :D

I am about to get my Calcium Reactor setup from Lifereef.

I am looking for a place for the most inexpensive CO2 Tank and ARM media.

Anyone know?

I know Reef fanatic had the best deal, but the coupon is expired and the ARM went up.

Thanks,
DC

[Ltspd]

DC321, try a welding supply house for the co2 and tank. I got mine there and it was pretty cheap.

The regulator from what I have been told can be purchased from http://www.harborfreight.com/

[dattack]

Yes, get the Co2 tank at your local welding shop would be the cheapest. I don't have a calcium reactor but I did buy all my Co2 equipment for my planted tank (freshwater). Check out this site.
