Anyone ever buy from these guys? http://www.lotsafishies.com/livestockfish.php

SCMAS from Cali says they do GB's all the time and really like them. They have some real good prices too.

Prices are good but, personally, I would have to investigate their intentions with regard to supplying white- and blacktip reef sharks. Not a sound practice in many cases.

And garden eels? Who the heck has a setup that can accommodate a garden eel?

+1, they are in it for the $ not the customer, and Ill bet the customer service sucks too considering they probably get called out on their live stock all the time.

Like I said SCMAS loves these guys, the fish are pretty cheap

Support the lfs imo

lol Josh and I do group buys every now and then and I know that our prices are lower than what those guys list on their website!

We may not price everything out individually, but all you have to do is ask!

What he said

+1, and you get to see what you are buying (unless you pre-pay on a GB)

 

[Cake_Boss]

the difference between buying online and locally? Besides supporting locals, which I'm all for? If I buy from a LFS then I can see what I'm getting. With the gb, I can't see what I'm buying before I actually get it. Guess I could show up to pick it up and stiff the guy, but what good does that do? And there's a dead fish policy online, or if my fish dies will the locals give me my money back or get another one for me? I was under the assumption that I'm SOL if this happens. Before too many people get fired up, I'm still buying locally, just doing this for agrument sake

 

[hurrafreak]

Most LFS's have a dead fish policy. It's HIGHLY doubtful that any of them would stiff you!

 

[Cake_Boss]

talking LFS, thinking more J&J. I don't think it would reflect good upon me if I order a fish and go to pick it up and not buy it

 

[wirick181]

agree with jamie on the dead fish thing i would J&J give a 7 or 14 day warrenty like the online stores

 

[hurrafreak]

What is J&J??

Most LFS's have some sort of policy, just ask.

 

[hoodrat]

j&j =josh and Jon?

 

[hurrafreak]

That's what I thought at first but I'm not positive lol.

 

[Cake_Boss]

Yup j&j= jon and josh

 

[jgonzz]

I only offer arrive alive, but if the fish died the night you got it I would issue a credit

 

[Cake_Boss]

Not what I'm saying, I'd feel like crap if I ordered a fish and didn't like it when I go to pick it up so I stiffed you by not buying it. For whatever reason I didn't prepay.

Also, if the fish dies a bit later, I'd be out of $$. With online I could return it, or they could send another one

 

[jgonzz]

true, But I also am charging half the price as anywhere on most things, with that also come the risk

I could charge LFS prices and offer 7 days, but if its somthing expensive best stick to the LFS that way you get exactly what you want.

Also there are a a few fish that even the large online places will not warrenty

 

[Cake_Boss]

I do love your prices, this is just for arguements sake remember.
