I've lost count of how many times people say they're interested, ask a bunch of questions, say they'll be in touch, then you never hear from them again. Or, on the other side, I've messaged hoping to buy something, and get radio silence. If you change your mind about buying, or don't have it to sell anymore, just respond so I know. It just takes 3 seconds of your time not to be rude. Anyway, that's my rant of the day.

Agreed.

This thread as Greg stated is not a witch hunt but just to keep people accountable for their actions.

All things considered, I have met many many stand up reefers that I consider my close friends now. I will continue on trading, buy and sell to other reefers and if they were my time, my experience will make its way onto this thread.

i love SSC.
some says i will take all but pls wait till my payday then no show.
Rich, my birthday is Sat and somehow i will b in CQ at that time.

More facts, less filler. You guys are being like a bunch of nattering old women at a garage sale.. just say'in.

experiences between members may not be the same.

This one person wasted my time, but im sure he/ she did not flake on others based on posts ive seen.

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 ?

Oh please, shaming me? Lol priceless.

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.
