I agree that if a seller agrees to a sale, and the buyer agrees to a buy...then we should post that the item is sold and to whom. Yes, once that is established lets ask for deposits...and such...BUT also to list that you will be taking a waiting list if the item sale doesn't work out, so the seller has someone as back up...the buyer has paid a deposit and you give them a reasonable time limit to get the purchase. This is supposed to be fun...not a business, but it is risky.
You get your hopes up as a buyer that you are getting something that you may have been waiting for and then you don't get it....or you are trying to sell something and count on the sale and it falls through...I just had my first disappointment working on a purchase with a Canreefer for something that I have been trying to get for many months....BUT I have met many many really nice people that I have purchased or traded stuff with and had it work out. Thanks to all the good people out there....
I wish it could all be local...but when you live somewhere that has only 3 other people with salt water tanks.....it makes it tough! And to trade stuff with others is so fun...at least it will be when I have something to trade!
