I have seen finger pointing both ways and it undoubtedly happens from both ends. But ultimately you are running a "retail sale" and it comes with both the bad and the good, not always one or the other.

I generally have given up selling used stuff, it isn't worth the hassle in the end for a few bucks. Maybe when I get enough stuff, I will have a Saturday sale and get rid of it all at once.

BC Aquaria used to have a rating system in place and I think that they dropped it a long time ago; ultimately it just comes down to he said, she said, bla, bla, bla and ultimately situations do arise unexpectedly.

Alternatives could include, if you have enough livestock,selling wholesale to the LFS, setting fixed times only or a group monthly meet to swap/sell goods at a common location would be handy too.

Then why are you here “sharing your thoughts” ? No one here asked for your opinion. Why is it everytime you open your mouth , it’s something negative ?

Shaming ? Little bit hypocritical no ?

Is that not exactly what you were doing in your first two posts ? Telling people to focus , and referring to them as “nattering old women “ ?

Anyhow , we are getting off topic , and I’m done wasting my time with you.

My point being if you would like to continue by all means continue. I always enjoy a good verbal joist. Yes a bit of kicking some in the shins but just as much trying to squash political correctness and get people to speak up, ya know the point of the thread. You're boring me. Go hug a tree.

Sorry to hijack, much needed. At the least, I 100% agree that we should have some sort of member rating! Reefing is a small circle. Honour and respect should be the fisrst order of business. I have had many, many great experiences. But again, some idiots too. Like the time I called a sweet chunk of pectinia from a shutdown. We played “text tag” for a few days trying to align our schedules, then silence. He finally replies “sorry, sold, forgot who I had sold it to” ....right buddy. Forget what his name was because I re-named his contact “black listed” on my phone.
Most reefers I meet are top shelf individuals. Perhaps those of you that are less than honest or are unaware that people value you for your word and honour first, don’t forget....reefing is a very small circle. This isn’t Craig’s List.
I have driven an hour out of my way, and overpaid for a frag that I was no longer interested in, just to avoid being bundled up as a flake. So if you are an idiot....a low baller......or a flake......small world. We talk. We know who you are
