Very nice clams, and yeah, that derasa is a beauty!

**nvert** · 09-14-2002, 11:05 AM

thanks for the compliments! i just had to return a cleaner shrimp that was developing a taste for the small crocea.

Brad,

Very nice looking clams

Welcome to the world of clams

**unlisted** · 09-15-2002, 02:34 PM

Wow nvert nice clam! I got an email last night form East Coast, about there big sale. I looked at the prices wowowowow! I have never seen such big clams for low prices. But I was hesitant to buy. Did you(NVERT) have a good experience from East Coast Clams? Would you reccomend them after you bought? Thanks for any info, I am pretty sure I am gonna buy one today. Unlisted

hi unlisted,
i am VERY happy with my clam from eastcoastclams.com. rob sent me an email inquiring about the clam too and he is running a sweet deal on his stock. the crocea is tons more colorful than the pic i posted above. i can't wait to add more but i'm going to let the guy settle in and then shop for a maxima and squamosa. good luck!

Thanks for the info nvert. My crocea is coming tomorrow from east coast clams. I will be sure to post a picture after it is acclimated. I can hardly wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**unlisted** · 09-22-2002, 07:55 PM

Well I finally got around to getting a picture of my new clam from Rob, at East Coast Clams! It is about 3.5" electric crocea. I only paid $50.00 and that included box charges! What a deal. Just wanted to share and thank nvert for his referral, and Rob at East Coast for doing a great job from clam, to packing, to website, and especially prices.

**Steve H.** · 09-23-2002, 11:47 PM

$50 with box charge included? Man, that is a great price. Clam looks great, and thanks for passing along the info.

**unlisted** · 09-24-2002, 11:06 AM

Yeah I was surprised to see no box charges at all. If you look at his site, under shipping it is for his grand opening special. I chatted with Rob, several times and he is thinking of keeping no boxes charges at all ever. Rob I hope you do. Box charges suck! Unlisted

**Reefland** · 09-24-2002, 12:45 PM

That is a beautiful Clam!

Just FYI, in case you haven't noticed, ClamsDirect is also offering free boxes to RL members!

Not knocking Barry at all. He is a great guy, I just gotta shop where the deals are, this hobby is expensive enough.

**Steve H.** · 09-24-2002, 03:44 PM

Well, all I will say is that after doing business with Barry it is very difficult to consider buying from somewhere else. East Coast appears to be a great vendor with great prices, it's just hard to switch from ClamsDirect when I've been extremely happy. So I feel I would rather spend more, already knowing that I'm going to be comletely happy with my order.

**Captain Clam** · 09-24-2002, 04:28 PM

It's good to know that there are choices for all of us. I'm sticking with ClamsDirect for two main reasons. Barry offers a 24 hour gaurantee and he hand picks all of his clams. I have yet to recieve one (out of my 9) that didn't look even better than I expected. I don't know what the competition does but I do know that Barry quarantines his clams for at least 7 days prior to making them for sale. That gives me piece of mind. I wish good luck to everyone buying clams, but you don't need luck if you buy from ClamsDirect.

**SueT** · 09-24-2002, 06:51 PM

I ditto, everything CC and Steve just said. I would never worry about anything from Barry. Geeze, he sent me a pic of them prior to shipping via email. Atleast I know the box is going to hold up from Barry's to me and it isn't a recycled box.

**unlisted** · 09-24-2002, 07:21 PM

Sue T. are you implying that east coast uses recylced boxes? Geez i am not trying to start a war, but c'mon if you are happy with one vendor over another that is fine. If I am happy with a different one that should be fine also. I am sure nvert would agree that there was nothing cut short in packing and east coast's boxes were brand new and very well made.

I thought I could come here and share, and not be beaten up about my choices. I am sorry if I offended anyone here.

I am shocked at how you(Sue) would say something like that about someone you have never done business with!!!!!!

I will keep my feelings and experiences about good deals and my opinions to myself. Good luck, getting new people interested here!!!!!!!!!!

**Steve H.** · 09-24-2002, 08:39 PM

Relax, I don't think anyone here is trying to beat up on you. We're all just sharing our own opinions too. I don't see where anyone said East Coast is using recycled boxes.
