Well there seems to be a great deal of interest in the berghias currently so I thought I would see if anyone else wants in on a salty underground order. Currently we are at $150 and $300 is free shipping. They sell other stuff like CUC and various other items so we are not limited to berghias, however everyone currently buying is looking for those guys.

A few ground rules:
1. Even if you already talked to me please post here with what you intend to order. Much easier for me that way. Thanks!
2. If I know you, and your order is under $50, I have no problem getting cash when we meet. Outside of that, please PM me and I will send paypal info. Please send paypal as gift, or tack on 3% processing fee.
3. If we hit $300 on the order, you will only pay what the actual item cost. If not, you will split the order up amongst everyone (ie shipping is $30 with 3 people ordering, so each person pays an additional $10)
4. I plan on placing the order sometime (hoping for arrival Tuesday or Wednesday but will update here) next week. I promised one buyer I'd be in Williamsburg (outlets) at some point next week, so that could be a pickup point. Otherwise I am located in Ames.

The "unofficial" order is right around $200 now. We can get it to $300 easy guys. Remember to please post here!

I need 10 1/4" for 104.90

I need 10 1/4" for 94.90

Those are coming up at $10.49 for $104.90 total. Not sure what the deal is with their varying prices. Anything I choose they seem to automatically give you the higher price?

EDIT: Figured it out. They are the lower price if you order 20+. I think we should be able to hit that, or at least get extremely close.

Yea I saw that and changed it.

is anyone able to get into salty underground website?

i will take 3 thanks

For what it is worth Lisa is a great person to deal with.

Not me, 509 bandwidth limit exeeded.

It said the same thing

is it out of business?

It is because we are all on it I think. And Lisa said she has none.

I just got an email back from Lisa who said she does have them in stock. Here is the email...

Hi Bela,

Thanks for writing. Yes, we have berghia ready to go. The 1/2" berghia are selling the fastest. The 1/4"+ berghia are the best value and we have a lot of those.



The buy 5 get 1 free offer may be over by the end of the weekend if sales are swift. If that happens before your order is in, we will still honor it for your group this week.



For your group we will do $20 overnight delivery for an order of 20 or more berghia. If you make it to 32 paid 1/4"+ berghia the shipping is free. The price for the 1/4"+ berghia at 20 or more is just $9.49.



We will also ship any corals the group wants to add to the order for no additional charge so your shipping will never exceed $20.



Hope this helps.

Thanks again,

Lisa Brown


So... my new plan is to order either later tonight or sometime tomorrow before noon-ish. Please update your orders here so that I may place them. I will also need the money in advance from those that fit the criteria of my original post.
Thanks!

how late tonight are you thinking? i need to speak to someone around 6 and then i will know how many i need to order

Well, I was basically thinking as late as it takes for people to finalize their orders. I figured I would just put some sort of timeline on the thing to get people motivated to make up their minds

ok if you have not ordered already i would like 6 of them

I have not ordered yet. I want to make sure everyone who has posted here is actually committed to buying. Please respond here ASAP. I am going to make my order tonight.

As it currently stands, if everyone orders, we will be right around $200, and 20 nudis, so there will be the additional $20 shipping split between us all. I have one other person looking at a CUC, but that would likely only bring us to $250. I am going to order tonight regardless guys, so if you want your order to be added I will need you to get at me.

Johnny, I have your order covered. No need to pay in advance. I owe you some cash still anyway.

By the way, my paypal is sziklassyvet. It is a gmail account (I type it this way to thwart spam bots fyi). You are welcome to just send the money for your order there. Please write, in list format, what you are wanting as a note before clicking "send money". If you choose to go this route we will figure out what little else you owe me for the shipping (if any).

I need 10 1/4" it says buy 5 get one free so not sure if I pay for 10 and get 12 or pay for 9 and get 1 free do it how-ever you want am sending 95.00 now let me know if I owe more.

A quick update. Lisa will not be able to ship these until Thursday. As such I may have one buyer, who's payment I was still wanting on, have to back out due to my not being able to meet at out agreed upon location on a Friday. This will drop us below the 20 mark. Is there anyone that could use 2-3 nudis? I was thinking of just adding them to my own order, but I fear my tank just doesn't have enough aiptasia to sustain that many.

I have placed the order. We were able to get 20, so we got the reduced price per unit as well as the $20 on the shipping. There are 4 of us ordering so each of us will need to add $5 on pickup for that (or just paypal me an additional $5 if you wish). I am told the shipment should be here by 9am this Friday. Will update here if anything changes.
