Calgary frag swap site

gradoj · #1 02-03-2006, 10:01 PM

This post might get me banned or something but what would everyone think of a website setup just for swapping frags in Calgary?

A site where people could post pics of what they have to trade and what they are looking for. Very similar to the livestock section here but used mainly by Calgary people for local pickup. Comments?

I think it would be better to post on here.You can add pics here already,and it gives ppl from different towns to chance to pick something up that may be hard to find where they live.

And how would this be better then the Canreef Calgary Reefing Club part of the board? Crazy Calgarians...

A shorter contact list would not be a benefit.

Ok, you may not like what I have to say.

A frag database sounds like a neat idea but I don't think it will fly. First of all, if you have frags to sell, you can list them here. If you have frags to sell, you can already list them here. But the reality is for every one person wanting a frag, there are probably ten others wanting that same frag. So the frag database is going to end up with mostly things like "I want frags" and then "me too!" and "hey, me too!" and "so do I!".

We have frag swaps already. How many of you made it to the frag swap we had in January?

If there is enough supply and demand, there will be other frag swaps.

My suggestion is a little patience.
