I'm kind of contemplating putting together a group buy, I'm thinking from ether World Wide Corals or Unique Corals or both. I would like to be the grower and I have quite a few Chalice's that I could give the buyers frags of to cover my part of the buy in. I have over 30 Chalices to choose from.

I'm thinking 4 buyers in the growout, 5 including myself.

These are the corals that I was thinking from WWC:
Unnamed
Chalice $50.00
WWC Dip n Dots
Chalice - WWC Dip n Dots $150.00

On these I am not sure if they are WYSIWYG.
FnF Goku
FnF Goku $200.00
WWC Purple Up Watermelon
WWC Purple Up Watermelon $175.00
Cornbreds Trash Mummy Eye
Cornbreds Trash Mummy Eye $175.00

For a total of $750, if there are others that the buyers would like to add that would be fine too.

And then the Chalice's from Unique Corals:
Banana Sherbet Chalice Frag
Banana Sherbet Chalice Frag (WYSIWYG) - LPS - Aquacultured :: Unique Corals $149.99
Pink Watermelon Chalice Frag
Pink Watermelon Chalice Frag (WYSIWYG) - LPS - Aquacultured :: Unique Corals $199.99
Arctic Mummy Eye Chalice
Arctic Mummy Eye Chalice Frags - LPS - UC Collection :: Unique Corals $89.99
Convicted Chalice Frags
Convicted Chalice Frags - LPS - UC Collection :: Unique Corals
$129.99
Molten Lava Chalice Frags
Molten Lava Chalice Frags - LPS - UC Collection :: Unique Corals
$109.99
Strawberry Sorbet Chalice Frags
Strawberry Sorbet Chalice Frags - LPS - UC Collection :: Unique Corals
$29.99
UC Pink Bikini Chalice Frags
UC Pink Bikini Chalice Frags - LPS - UC Collection :: Unique Corals
$199.99

For a total of $910.

I'd be game to do this as one growout for both of them or each of them in their own growout.

Buyers will be responsible for actual shipping charges from me to them.

Upon receiving the frags I will post pic's. After that pic's will be posted at least once a month and written updates will be given upon request, I am on R2R daily so I am easy to get a hold of.

I have not contacted ether WWC or Unique Corals yet, I will do so when things start to materialize.

To get in on the WWC corals it is $192.50 plus the actual cost of shipping per person for a total of 8 frags.

Or for the Unique Corals pack it is $228 plus the actual cost of shipping per person for a total of 10 frags.

Or get in on both for a total of $420 plus actual shipping costs for 18 frags.

Here are a few examples of what I have to put in. I could go 6 of my frags to each of the buyers, 3 to each of the growouts, so if you are in both then you will get 6 frags from my collection of your choice.

Skinz's Scrumptious Watermelon, this thing has a neon green rim and eyes, with a purplish base.

This is a group shot, bad one at that I suck at pic's. I have a very nice Watermelon in there, Miami Hurricane, Flamethrower "not BPC", etc.

I think this is a Joker Mecydium.

This is one Chalice pack that I just sold but I still have the mother colony's. Skinz's blueberry watermelon top left, gold Chalice top right, I have heard the bottom left called Captain America, and bottom right is Skinz's Scrumptious Watermelon. This pack is what I would perfer to chip in because I have larger mother colony's of each of them. If you would rather one of my others that would be fine too. I have 2 more colony's coming soon and they both are being submitted to Tyree, I can't post pic's yet because I don't have them in my possession, I went in halves on them with another member and he has them. I can say at this time they are both very nice red rim's.

I just did the math on these:

To get in on the WWC corals it is $192.50 plus the actual cost of shipping per person for a total of 8 frags.

Or for the Unique Corals pack it is $228 plus the actual cost of shipping per person for a total of 10 frags.

Or get in on both for a total of $420 plus actual shipping costs for 18 frags.

I have a suggestion get 6 people and get all 30 just a thought I'm sure the more you spend the less frags would cost

Hey guys, I have been told that WWC doesn't do group buys, not sure if it is true or not though. I kinda have something else in the works with Soccerbag and if you guys are interested I'll let you know what all he has to offer.

The nice thing about the UC or what we could get from Soccerbag is most of them have multiple eyes which would make it very easy to do a quick growout. I am affraid from what I have heard about WWC the frags would be smaller and would take longer to grow out.

People who have shown interest:

I would like to get 4 or 5 people in on this, maybe even 6 depending on where we get the frags from.
