Who Wants Live Blackworms? (for Arrival 01/27/2011)

[mewickham]

It's that time again. We band together now and then to get a great price on live blackworms. Practically all fish love them and it's fun to offer them to our fishy friends. We need to order a total of at least five pounds to get a good price. If you would like to order some, details are below:

Pick-up
You will be responsible for picking up your worms at my house in Rogers on the day that they arrive—Thursday (01/27/2011). (I will send you a note with my address and driving directions, once you commit to order.)

Price
The price would be the same as I actually end up paying, rounded up to the nearest dollar. Minimum order is one half pound, about one cup of worms. Last time, it worked out to $14 for one pound, or $8 for a half pound. The price may drop if we order more than five pounds total.

If you want to order, post a note here as a reply so that we can get a running count.

Payment
Once we confirm that we have enough participating to place an order, you can go to https://paypal.com and click on the "Send Money" link to pay. Follow the instructions to send money to my account (info@mikewickham.com). If the price ends up being less, I'll refund the difference when you pick up your worms. Or you can pay cash when you pick up the worms. (I'll take a check, but prefer cash so that I don't have to make a special trip to the bank.)

Guarantee
I make no guarantee beyond what the shipper offers to us (live arrival).

Care
Live blackworms are very easy to keep. I use a mini cat litter pan (10" x 14"). I place a pound of worms in it, in about a half-inch of water, and place the whole thing in the refrigerator. The worms should be rinsed every day at first, but as quantities dwindle, and they clean themselves out, they can be rinsed less often. No aeration or feeding is necessary. They last for weeks.

To rinse the worms, I merely stick the pan of worms under a faucet and run pure cold water to fill it up. Then I let the worms settle and pour off the dirty water. Repeat a time or two until the water is clean. Stick it back in the fridge.

Cutoff date
Cutoff date to order is Monday morning, 01/24/2011. Post a reply here if you want to get in on the deal.

Fish go nuts for these worms, so here's your chance to spoil your fish rotten and have some fun watching them worm wrestle! Live foods encourage breeding of your fishes!

Okay, I've got the following orders:

==============
TOTAL - 5.5 lbs.

If someone wants some after you place the order, let me know. I'll work with them on it. Denny

[mewickham]

Aaargh! Due to FedEx increases, our price will be a little higher than last time. Here is what you owe when worms come in. Payment due on pickup. I greatly prefer cash, but will accept a check if absolutely necessary.

Mike W. - 0.5 lb = $8
Denny - 1.0 lb. = $16
Corey - 2.0 lbs. = $31
WUW - 1.0 lb = $16
Michael - 1.0 lb = $16
==============
TOTAL - 5.5 lbs.

The shipment is on schedule for Thursday delivery at my house. FedEx usually arrives by noon, but check before coming. I'll post when they arrive.

Worms came in in great shape. If you didn't order, you missed out!
