Astrea snails

kgstei · Feb 23, 2019

Time for me to reload the clean up crew. Anyone want to go in on an order of snails. $70 for 100 snails on eBay. That's $17.50 per 25. I'm located in Griswold but may be able to meet up in East Lyme.

Hi Rich sounds good. I'm going to put the order in tonight and hopefully get it for Wednesday. I'm planning to go to Niantic Wed afternoon. I'll pm you with an update.

.40 each for them from Tyler Johnson on fb. Best to make a big order with him though shipping gets you 50$ for that. Even emeralds are about $1 each too.

Yes that's the guy I am going through but I need more people to join in to get the best price. I don't want to end up as the snail king of CT if I overrides. Looks like I will have to order by the end of the week for delivery next week.

Cool didn't know he was selling on ebay. I might be down to join in too.

It seems like he uses several different company names on eBay. The more the merrier and by merrier I mean cheaper cuz that makes me happy

Triggreef · Feb 25, 2019

I think it's cheaper to order from him on fb. Let me see if I can find what I got last time

Triggreef · Feb 25, 2019

Depends how many I guess. Would be about $0.70 at your ebay price listed each including shipping for 100 astreas.

He gave me a price of $0.40 each plus $50 shipping. 200 snails that would drop to about 65 cents each... His ebay price actually 5 cents cheaper at 200 snails. But 400 snails would drop price down to about 52 cents each. Through him in fb.

I couldn't find pricing information on Facebook for him the one thing about him is that his pricing is inconsistent sort of check out of each deal and do the math

Right now on eBay there's two ads which are pretty much identical both selling at 119.95 plus thirty bucks shipping One ad is for 300 snails the other AD is 150 snails pretty sure it's still the same guy. But so far I don't have nearly enough interest for 300 snails

I would join, but was previously burned by a vendor when the snails came in mostly dead. I was responsible for the group buy and it was a heck of a mess. Never again for snails. Lol

kgstei · Feb 25, 2019

That has crossed my mind. I'll put it on my credit card and so far I'm familiar with most of the people who've been interested. I did order from him a couple of weeks ago and everything was fine but as in most things in life it's a crapshoot

Triggreef · Feb 25, 2019

Maybe better off on ebay deal anyway in that regard since ebay always sides with buyer. I can take 100 or even 200 snails no problem. Lots of tanks.

Would rather do before ffm to offer them out but I saw he had like 175 orders to ship just today so I don't know if he's keeping up with the demand. Lol

kgstei · Feb 25, 2019

I saw that too today. I'm hoping to order it and have it shipped out so that I can receive it on Wednesday of next week. If that works for you let me know how many you want so I can add it into the order. If you want 100 or 200 that'll get us into the arena of the best prices

Triggreef · Feb 25, 2019

I could do 100 and the time frame works for me too. Not apposed to more if it's a significant savings but 100 preferably

kgstei · Feb 26, 2019

We have enough to order comes out to $0.50 per snail. I've got clueless in for 40 snails and trig in for 110 snails. They guarantee live arrival if they arrived dead we have to pay for shipping again which is 29.99 Just confirm with me that the numbers are good and I'll place the order hoping for them to ship it out on Monday so it arrives by Wednesday.
