[Reef Pilot]

Aren't we getting carried away here a bit, making a mountain out of a molehill? The thread was good to remind people of pet peeves by both sellers and buyers. But really,... these are pretty minor issues compared to what happens with other online buy/sell sites. I worry more about scammers, but have yet to encounter one here on canreef.

I have bought and sold a lot of frags and other stuff here on Canreef. Can't say I have ever had what I would call a bad experience. Sure, there were a few times (but not very many) where someone didn't show, or respond back to me. But nothing out of the expected. Everyone isn't perfect and there are often unknown extenuating circumstances. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt unless direct evidence or experience indicates otherwise.

In fact, I would say, have got to known personally many local canreefers that otherwise would just be names on this forum. So I would say the positive vastly outweighs any negatives with our Canreef classified section.
