Default Buy/Sell non-aquatics related possible?

I think this has been bought up before, but would it be possible to get a non-aquatics releated buy/sell forum? It would be nice to be able to sell electronics etc, and potentially get fish stuff in return. I find ebay/craigs list etc a pain as most people there flake out in the end.... just a thought.

Yes we have discussed this before and we've decided that this is an aquarium related board and thats what people come here for. Selling non-aquaria related items takes up valuable bandwidth (or some other computery type term that costs money) which could be used for more appropriate topics. There are several other venues for non-aquaria related items.

Oh and just so you know, people don't just flake out on ebay/craigslist, they do it all over the place

I'm sure you could find a way to make anything aquarium related. For example:

42-inch plasma TV - watch slideshows of your favorite aquarium photos! (eh?)

Or

2003 Nissan Maxima - Drive in style to your favorite LFS! (maybe?)

Ok, sorry...I digress...

I see, well what if the trade was soley for fish equipment? Then it would be fish related for ex. WTT: TV for fish tank! Guess I'll go the craigslist route.
