Like that wrasse you shipped me, dead in the bag, probably dead when you packed it. You ripped me off and nobody should ever deal with you again. Sure, maybe I made that up. Maybe I didn't. See where that would go really fast??

Wow. I think we've all been a apart of a sale that didnt go through at one time or another, or had something sold out from under you. Best thing to do before putting something up for sale is just realize that its not sold until cash is exchanged. I dont bother getting upset anymore. If it sells great.... If not... oh well... Wasting time can be a big part of a sale. Its just the way it goes with sales. Not worth taking it personally. Sales whether its new or used is dog eat dog so expect the worst and most of the time you wont be disappointed... If sales was an easy profession everyone would be salesmen lol.

"Knock on wood" ....I've been fortunate enough to have successful transactions where I have had items shipped to me and where I have shipped items to others on this forum. Both transactions were flawless. Ironically; these were 'high dollar' items (various models of Bubble King Skimmers) and all parties acted on good faith.
I'm a believer in Karma. I may not be there when it rears its ugly head; but I take small comfort that "What goes around, comes around". I also want to believe that the majority of hobbyists on this forum are considerate and courteous. Everyone wants to save money or feel that he/she walked away with a good deal; if you do plan a transaction at a person's home; respect it. You never know if he/she has some dungeon built in the basement or elsewhere on the property.  Then again....some of you may be into that kind of thing. Nevermind.Also.....this was not directed at anyone explicitly on this forum. However; for the morons that have stood me up on other forums - Karma's coming for you. P.S. - There is ALWAYS as blacklist.

so no - I'm confident when two good people deal with one another, there is an understanding. when a good seller sells something, and a bad apple puts a bad review.... that's going to come out if someone actually searches the posts and other reviews that bad apple has put up as well. Don't believe me, look up www.thirdgen.org on the classified section. just like car parts, one could say "he never shipped me what I bought" or "it doesn't work as explained". its upto the seller to take the chance of sending live stock which could be DOA, so that's a high risk, so up to them....because of that I would stay away from it keep in mind, these are all just opinions (so I'm not saying I'm right) - however I think canreef instead of avoiding the inevitable (buying and selling of stuff) - might as well try to help the people. anything is going to be better than nothing. Sure there is going to be the exception (as there always is) but its going to reduce the risk at least. Perhaps not enough people on here have done the e-bay thing to understand how to dicier honest reviews and question the bad ones. Your always going to have those that cheat the system by making false accounts just to give themselves good reviews etc. Right now.... its a lot easier to pull of scams though. it seems canreef is over worried about liabilities and think people will blame them for this - simple start off a disclosure indicating potential warnings still and its used to reduce scams but still can happen. on the twist side.... I've bought and sold stuff at a distance already......can you see how that can become good really fast?  unfortunately I have nothing to show for it, and people browsing online who might want some of the hardware I have would have been more enthusiastic to purchase at a distance had there been previous reviews.

for those that think this would be too much administration - its not. The only explanation in my opinion that can reef should decline such a system is if the suggested i trader platform inst' compatible with the current one, or it costs money.
being paranoid about hurting peoples feelings... well... either that, or I can start calling out names on for sale threads etc. because people deserve the truth about transactions - I don't plan on getting nasty but for example. Buying powerheads from a guy in Calgary who didn't include the much needed power supplies.... took 3 months to ship them..... people get busy.. procrastinate etc.... I would just state the fact. Its going to promote him/her to either A, decide not to ship next time or B be more diligent not to forget parts or C, realize their screw up and send right away and maintain an good status. screen shots curtosy for www.thirgen.org (see under left pane sig for "classified rating":  when you click on link, you can see reviews.... you can question if the people leaving reviews are legitimate as well by clicking on their status's as well.
