Blah. It is what it is , IMO. Sometimes you buy stuff from other aquarists and its great equipment or frags....the next time its crap.

Same for vendors...sometimes its better than even expected....next time....well, lets just leave it at that.

All goes with the territory, again, IMO.

I only buy off of active users. I've never been ripped off yet nor received something that was junk or in not working order. I've only been ripped off by stores and both are no longer in business anymore either. Same location too. But thanks to tips on here I know where one of the guys now works

Only issue I have had was with a user from Prince George

I have bought and sold piles on here all over most of the problems if not all were encountered from the shipping of the product.

This is and always will be an issue on any site that allows buy/sell when I was buying for my tank I only bought from people that were active and known on the site and when I sold I made damn good and sure buyer knew what they were getting into and what was expected.

Basically use common sense

Pretty much why I am insisting on a local sale for an expensive item I am currently selling on here. If things somehow go wrong it can create a lot of hassle. For example, I sold a wavebox to a guy in Winnipeg over a year ago. Canada Post delivered it to the wrong house, and wouldn't admit that they made a mistake. I wasn't sure if the person I sold it to was telling the truth or if Canada Post was that incompetent. Fortunately the package was recovered after a few days at a neighbours house. It still caused tension between the buyer and I, and also required several calls on my part to Canada Post. It was a needless source of stress for about a week! Never shipping again.
