I have about 120 gallons of water with sump and tank combined so potentially I could hold stuff to be picked up depending on how large our order is. I live right by U of C in the nw so it's not exactly central but not bad either.

If he sends me a list I'll send it to you.

Parking is good by your place.

You can count me in for some Maxi Minis! Love those little buggers and have been wanting to set up a nano with a bunch of them and some inverts. I'm going to call it the Maxi Pad!

What?? What did I say?!

I think that it is important for those who have not dealt with Burc in the past to know and understand the risks associated with dealing with him. A lot of people speak from personal experience so the accounts are true. Once you know and understand the risks, it is up to the individual to decide if it is worth it to them. I have dealt with Burc on a few occasions, both good and bad. I know the risks yet I am willing to have a go at it with the group in the hopes of scoring some inexpensive 'nems for my Maxi Pad!

Yeah I did a big order with him and he shorted me and substituted, never returned phone calls or emails. But I did get some pieces I have never seen in stores or available online. So I am goinging to this fully expecting that I will get somewhat screwed over.

This is the reason I am going to select $10 frags. Even if he sends substitutes, there won't be anything which has less value than my choice; it will either be more or be of equal value :P

It's like buying a pack of hockey cards. You buy a pack and hope you get the card you need, but sometimes you get duplicates of what you already have. So you buy another pack of hockey cards over and over hoping that one day it will have the one card you have been looking for.

Why not just post the list to this thread?

Traditionally (from what I've seen from other group buys) the list hasn't been posted to the thread. I don't know why, but as I don't know exactly how these things usually work I don't want to step on any toes or do anything incorrectly. It may have to do with the fact that Fragalot is not a Canreef sponsor, and his wares shouldn't be advertised on the forum.
