I am sorry to say, but i think that is a double standard (sorry josh), not only should this be applied to ALL VENDORS and the FOR/SALE forum as well, let me explain myself...
If u purchase for the intent to resale(vendors), in my eyes that makes u RESPONCIBLE for whatever u sell, if it takes asking pertinent questions such as tank size, filtration, etc..u must! Its that persons business to have that responsibility that the livestock or goods to the buyer can reach its full potential.
Also, as a hobbiest selling from a display tank or other, this allows more "newbie" education, and gives a model for buying and selling on this site, they have to learn what they
need to ask, and then to learn
why, they need to ask it....
all i see is good with this change so long it does
not only apply to select few..

I think the word knowingly needs to be added here as I have done above.
I say this for one reason, I could join here and not let anyone know anything about me and buy livestock with a tank that has been setup for 1 day and buy a alot of stuff no problems because I BS'd the vendor and got away with it. Or I could go home and throw the livestock into my tank without acclimating it and call the vendor tomorrow cause it died and accuse him of selling sick fish. | | | | | | |
