Upcoming Group Buys

In case you haven't noticed, the CCA has been running quite a few group buys as of late. Items from frozen food to Pimafix/Melafix ingredients to light bulbs to breeder boxes have been put together over the last few months with some big ones from big name venders coming up here soon.

Here's a list of buys in progress and coming soon:

• Jeff Michels/Aquatic Clarity - Dwarf SA, West Africans, bettas, cats - delivered to the June meeting! (http://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/showthread.php?t=17697
• New York Exotic Aquatics - Malawi cichlids (http://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/showthread.php?t=17377
• Jeff Rapps/Tangledupincichlids - Central Americans (http://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/showthread.php?t=17648
• Yourfishstuff - Food and dry goods - Coming Soon
• Dave's Rare Fish - October

This is just some of what we have going on now and in store for the near future. Some of our group buys feature discounts and/or reduced shipping costs.

Can't see the linked threads above? Are you a member of the CCA? If not, join up. Sorry, but these offers are for members only. For $20, you not only get to participate in group buys, but receive discounts from our sponsors, the ability to sell items at the auctions, access to special members-only sections of the forums as well as the BAP program, attendance to our summer BBQ and holiday party as well as other special events.


Most importantly, you're giving back to the club. I don't know of any other place where $20 gets you so much.


Stay tuned to this thread as well as the member's group buy section: http://www.capitalcichlids.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=88

Cheers.

Usually one livestock order can make your membership pay for itself, comparing shared shipping to even close express shipping.

Dry good orders probably also come close if you compare retail and the break(sometimes free) on shipping.

If you do small orders, they can pay off too since shipping would be a bigger percentage of the cost.
