While I don't agree with the desision, I have no choice to accept it (much like our government). I hope you don't build buisness plans for companies! With that logic, a person should be able to open a store front and become another Walmart in no time. Not sure how Canreef would become "another ebay" if you opened up another General buy/sell. If I want to sell something I don't scour the internet for knitting forums to sell a table saw (something that could and would be used directly for setting up a tank or DIY (Just a example)). There are many other boards that have such a thing and I would give a educated guess that for every 1 post in the General section there are about 20-30 posts about "fish" related items. Just my $0.02. You can e-mail me if you want to talk further....

The buy and sell is a free paper, and has a huge reader base.
