Default Seiryu Stone for Sale, pictures





I have some Seiryu stone to sell from a tank that I broke down. The price is $4.00 per pound, and shipping will be in USPS flat rate boxes for $8.95 (this size holds up to 20lbs)

It would be too time consuming to photograph each and every piece, so i took a couple of pics, one with a bottle for scale.

If anyone needs additional pictures, email me personally at bacarlile@yahoo.com and i can reply back with additional photographs

Paypal is my preferred payment method, and my PP is bacarlile@yahoo.com

Thanks for your interest.
Brian

Nice looking rock! Could you take a photo of what say 10-20 pounds of rock would be?

How firm are you with that price? I would like to get some if you can lower the price a bit.

Would love to have some but $70 for 15 lbs of rock is too much for me. May I ask where you locate this stuff otherwise?

Also I would be really worried about those rocks being shipped in a box like that. Those boxes are not the strongest and with no padding I think the box would arrive at my door empty. IMO.

If you heavily wrap it in packaging tape, it'd arrive okay. I had shipments of rocks come in with frail boxes but the HUGE amounts of tape they used solved that problem.

Yes, he/she is right.
I don't see a problem if the packager uses HEAVY duty packaging tape designed for such purposes. They have very high tension resistance.

The stuff is really hard to come by these days, so i'm just trying to get back what I payed for it, which i think is fair given the high demand. Additionally, I am having no problem selling this rock, so I cannot drop the price at this time.

Matt, if you are looking for something cheaper, I think petco sells zebra rock. This may give you a similar look if you cannot scrape $70 together.

I have successfully shipped 14 boxes of rock, from 5 lbs, to 22lbs that I had to use a shoe horn to fit it all, and every single person has received their package with all stones in box.

I have some of these stones and would like to get more for my collection. I would like to get about 5 lbs.
