You'll be the first person on the backup list.  If any of the first 12 people don't make the payment deadline tonight, then I'll let you know.

Indeed or at least my phone may explode with all the approval of posts for new members !

Thanks, I appreciate the assist on approving group buy pending posts quickly!  That's always a challenge when new members don't yet have the required 10 posts.

Alright,   Now me IT programmer apex guru community leader person… how do I set up six computers by tomorrow to auto refresh and bid automatically?

Don't laugh...When I owned my IT business, we had a datacenter that had 9 different Internet backbone carrier connections at blistering speeds, with 1ms latency.  Any time there were concert tickets or other events that I knew would be gone quickly, I'd sit in the datacenter refreshing my screen the moment the tickets went on sale.  Most times I scored some pretty awesome seats!

So far we have posted 10 group buys over the past 5 days.  Tomorrow, we are going overboard by posting the final 6 group buys in one giant blow out!!!

Starting tomorrow (Tuesday May 10) I will post new a group buy every one minute beginning at 6:00 pm:

6:00 pm - Group Buy #11
6:01 pm - Group Buy #12
6:02 pm - Group Buy #13
6:03 pm - Group Buy #14
6:04 pm - Group Buy #15
6:05 pm - Group Buy #16

This should give you enough time to reply to one, then refresh your screen and reply to the next.  Be quick!

Then, on Wednesday at 6:00 pm I will be posting the super-special PNWMAS Supporting Member group buy.  Only paid Supporting Members will be eligible for this one, and it will be amazing!  If you're not yet a Supporting Member, be sure to sign up in advance to be able to participate in this one:

Good luck, everyone!  We'll see you all on Sunday for the big party, and all the group buy frags will be available for pickup at the party.

I'm shutting down my tank.  I currently have 40 lbs of live Pukani rock, covered with tons of coraline algae and breeding copepods.  Pukani is very light-weight and very porous. The largest piece is about the size of a basketball, has 3 or 4 mushrooms, a small green torch, and some sort of encrusting green coral I'm not sure of the name, but this piece does have a bit of hair algae.  Two additional larger pieces have large colonies of orange zoas attached.  

I also have 20 lbs of dry Pukani that I bleached last year and has been sitting dry in a bucket since.

Selling for $3 per pound, or $150 for all of it.  Cash or PayPal.

Pick up at my house in Beaverton.

Our next group buy is for these multicolor Acan Echinata!  $30 each, and it's open for 12 people.  To secure your spot, reply to this thread.  The first 12 people will then have 24 hours to make their $30 payment through PayPal.  Be sure to include a note with your payment listing your PNWMAS forum name and "Group Buy #10". Example:

Just renewed our PNWMAS membership and plan on heading into cuttlefish on sunday. Probably missed all the cool group buys by now. Better late than never though! 

We still have a few more group buys on the way before the party!

Do you have any you recommend?

You should consider buying a clip-on camera filter to compensate for the blue lights.  They make a huge difference in the photos.

I sent a payment at 6:36PM today but now I see that it had to come in by 6PM.  Oops. 

Did you send the payment from "info@knackimaging.com"?  That payment did not list any PNWMAS screen name, so I didn't know who to apply it to.  I sent that address an email message asking for clarification, but have not received any response.

For everyone out there, please follow the posted rules on your PayPal payments.  I'm trying to track 10 different group buys with 10 to 20 participants each, so that is several hundred PayPal transactions to sift through.  It's not easy if people don't follow the posted protocol.
