Re: Proper etiquette when selling fish

I can say that I prefer to deal with folks we have met and know. Having a history with folks eases your mind, even if you are unable to see the fish in question that they will do the right thing if something were to be wrong when you got them home. On most occasions, the deal was so cheap it covers quite a bit of smaller issues. When we deal with other folks the price is trivial compared to the deal you recieve in the livestock. I try and keep an open mind when it comes to newer folks that I have not personnally met before, but once I have a bad exp. we just avoid ever dealing with that person again. We do try and allow them a chance to make it right, but after that we will never deal with them again. We avoid posting up issues, just to avoid any silly arguments. It was our mistake for not saying no and was our lesson learned. If a situation seems amiss, it will always seem weird so we always try and be open and honest. I'd prefer to give away something then have someone feel they were taken advantage of and I expect that from those I deal with. Choosing to use the Buy/Sell/Trade area is a choice. Those are my feelings and I can say there are some terrific folk on here to meet and deal with and there are a few that I avoid like a plague ridden corpse.

I have list with a couple of plague ridden corpses that I avoid.

Let me get this straight your mad because i didn't let you in my house? know some people take there place of living private
some don't even want you to go to there house. I did not wanna show my tank because there is a big mess everywhere
rocks all over the place and my tank is in a mini cycle? not everyone is the same.

I never said i was angry i was asking other peoples opinion in the matter. Let me first say the fish are healthy. But i would like to see if some guidelines be followed to in the future and you should let people know about things like a cycle that is ongoing in you tank that is things people would like to know. But the fish are doing great under my care as always

Yup they were perfectly healthy no doubts i dont sell sick fish to much of a man to do that.

BUT.......you failed to tell him that you were having a water issue in the tank that the fish were being housed .

It's funny how forums don't normally convey tone, but I can tell supadave has that old school corrective tone going on right now!!!

[Ogrodii]

the only thing i cared about was that he got 100% healthy fish in his hands...... no one asked about the water

[Ogrodii]

I agree with you Justin, but the comment of stupid is bc they have history between each other of bickering. Anyways that same guy owes me a bucket.. who comes to buy fish without a bucket.. WHATTT

If it were me, I'd want to know their prior conditions such as water quality, feeding schedule, etc. If I knew a tank was going through a "mini cycle", I'd pass or at least wait until the tank is stable before I purchase.

[Ogrodii]

We all as buyers are entitled to our terms and what you think will fly or not.
just because the water is not 100% does not mean fish are sick or not healthy
and if you were not ok with it you did not have to buy the fish.
