The reason me and gonzapa dont want an ebay purchase is:

1 - They are not always reputable sellers.
2 - They dont sell in bulk. I dont want to have to win 6 or 7 different auctions in order to get the stuff.
3 - You may find stuff 50% off at a starting price, but then it gets bidded up to original or more.
4 - You are not guaranteed to get the stuff.
5 - I have never seen something that is new 50% off, unless it was crushed at the store or something, lol.
6 - Group buys from a store often involve 10-20% off, and the shipping is standard, so in the end, it is much much MUCH cheaper than eBay.

There is a reason that no one does group buys of multiple things on eBay. Everyone wants to customize their packages, and they want quality stuff.

Customer service at Premium Aquatics and The Reef Stop is closed till Monday, they will probably have written me then.
If there is a formidable discount, then I want to try and get an order in by May 18, or sooner.
