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

When I first started with concept had a young guy come in and needed a tank in an emergency well were custom so I didn't have anything available not in that kind of rush
I had just had my display built but was still buying equipment so I says take my new tank hasn't even seen water I even gave it at glass cost and said just pay me when you can after all he was a young kid in a bad jam about to lose livestock and was dealing with a cracked filled tank The following week gave him liverock free and some other odds and ends I wasn't using I got 1 payment out of three which was right on time , none of the other payments came , made arrangements to have it paid on jan1 of last year that never happened Small world though and I turn around one day at big Al's and boom were race to face and I say dude why? Sure enough his grandma died and I felt bad said its ok a text would have been nice but I understood Next day seen him joining a frag alot group buy on canreef for $300 he posts so now I'm mad and tell him as much Here we are over a year later and I've never seen any more oayments I've had to buy the tank twice and looked liked an idiot to the boss as he warmed me it was a bad idea , well he was right He posts on here from time to time and turns out he's burned 2 other reefers I deal with in the city Now it's pay upfront for everything or move on friend or not
