    I'd love a clam that size. Would you sell it for $100 USD delivered to Virginia? You could make a holiday of it.

    My holidays are half over and the remainder is booked for time at my cottage in North Bay, the opposite direction to where you are.
    Why would I spend more than I would get in order to sell the clam. I would be better off giving it to LFS for nothing.
    You come here and I'll sell it to you for $200 Canadian funds.
    (I don't know how you'll get it across the border though without the proper paperwork)

    I figured it was worth a try, you know "nothing ventured, nothing gained"

    I just saw a lot of folks from ON in Myrtle Beach, SC. That has got to be one heck of a drive but it is a pretty beach.

    You could easily ship that large squamosa.

    I will have plenty of room in my new tank. :)

    To the OP, that is a beautiful squammie.

    Hell, I can't even get brine shrimp cysts overnighted from BSD as it takes about 10 days most times including the customs agents opening the packaging. Ocassionally I can get it in 5 days, but that is rare now. Since 9/11 shipping times from US to Canada have gone to pot so that I've had to stop buying products like cryopaste because it's spoiled by the time I get it.
    How would a clam make it across the boarder, especially without proper paper work?
