I've been watching his site all weekend, where did you get that information?
Do you have an inside line..

I wish we could put in an order of get on a waiting list.

 

[CaptFish]

He told me to watch his "in stock list" very closely on sat. so I did, but 3 came and went instantly! I was hoping to meet him and get one tomorrow.

You might email Tom and ask to be put on a waiting list. He used to maintain one for 30 days (I think he has stopped that practice) but he might still queue a direct email (he did for me with the KaySoh and I don't THINK I am special ).

He told me to watch his website, not the instock list
when I think about all the time I wasted, grumble, grumble

Capt, did you inquire about a waiting list? Well thanks, at least I know where to look now.

Heard back from Tom this morning. He gave me his phone # and said to call so I called him, he said he had 1 avaliable. I told him I really wanted 2. Then he said the one will be going to a guy in Miami. (I am hoping this guy is Captfish) Anyway he said he gets them on Saturdays from shrimpers. He checks his emails and alerts the people who have requested them. I will just have to wait until he gets more. This time he only got 3. I am busy this week anyway, I have 5 bubble tip anemones to find a place for to make room for 10 maxi mini carpet anrmones comming tomorrow. I have a LFS that I have built a relationship with, and he has shown interest in my rose anemones so I am hoping he'll take them for credit. It's so much easier than posting them for sale then waiting and hoping they show up. It seems all I do is rearrange my livestock, fun fun fun.

I hope I am the guy in Miami, but I have received no communication from him.

When he told me he had 1 avaliable, I told him I wanted 2 and would rather get them together so I don't have to pay the extera shipping. Then he said "then it's going to a guy in Miami". Well I know your in Miami, if I knew your name, I could have asked. Well he said to email him here
[email protected] with pigmy or merc. octopus as subject.
When he gets them, he emails those who have requested them. That's too bad I was hoping you were the guy. We just have to keep hoping he get a few next Saturday.

I hate waiting

..he already took the money from me, so I'm sure I'll get one sooner or later. My name is Dave

 

[Lmecher]

I wasn't really asking, but Hi Dave, I am Linda.
Why don't you call him? You'd think you'd be at the top of the list seeing as you already paid. I know how you feel, I am into instant gradifiction, HATE waiting too but at least you have one, I got nothin in my tank but 1 hermit crab lol. I planned to get clean up crew when I order from Tom.

 

[CaptFish]

Thats what I did, I was ordering a clean-up crew and food for Izzy when I saw him post the other Mercs for sale.

Hey Linda, out of curiosity from an old Chicago guy, which store are you working through? Long ago I knew most of the people in the stores in and around Chicago and the suburbs, but that was years ago...
