WYSIWYG!!!

I picked ups way too many snails for my tank (price reduced)
10 snails for $7
20 snails for $12
30 snails for $17
50 snails for $27

Pick up is free or add $15 (in tri-state only) and I will ship to you.

Get them while they last

here are the snails

Just curious. Why would it matter if he got them for free? Did we take into account that he used gas to and from there, food to keep them alive, his time spent finding and catching them, and nutrients they used in his stem? Isn't this providing a service to his fellow reefers?

Exactly my point, but what is free. Divers, gas, gear for diving, workers, time, lighting and food to keep them after they come out of the ocean. So what is free? i.e I get a Jason Fox piece that is .5 inch. It grows to 5 inches. I cut it and sell it, is it free? Even if I spend $5000 in salt, chemicals, and electricity? Come on guys think before you talk. Its as simple as that. Thanks.

The issue of "locally harvested" snails/ hermits, etc. being collected and sold here has been brought up many times...

Seems there may be a higher chance of introducing disease into an unsuspecting buyer's tank because they are wild caught, as opposed to critters that have been raised in a controlled environment.

I say disclose where the animals come from, and if someone is willing to take their chances, so be it.

I am not sure where he got them from. He did mention he is selling them for a fraction of his cost. On his other thread he said a fraction of what he paid. If he did get it for free its not a fraction of the cost.

Great points but why not pm the guy instead of putting it out on a public forum.

The OP put his for sale thread on a public fourm as well. Look through the for sale threads most of them have questions on them. Isn't that why the fs section is set up in a fourm format? If who ever runs the site wants to he can disable comments in the fs section.

Just answering questions from a previous poster, related to the items for sale. And yes this is a public forum, meaning questions can and should be asked about items for sale.

I have nothing against the OP, he never said whether he collected them or bought them. He's not misleading anyone...

Ok so I just got a bad reefer rating from this guy. This is the same guy that tried to lowball and insult me through Pm's. Then he stated in the rating he's never dealt with me b4 and he's going to bring this up to the mods. So I've taken pics of the conversation.

Who left the negative feedback first? It looks like there is more to this story then just this thread. If the negative feedback is from this thread or from your offer from January this is a perfect example of feedback abuse.

thats right... he has abused feedback rating system on this site. According to ssminow81 I "annoyed" him by an offer that I made to him, lol. He never sold the item and I offered my best offer at the time. I was doing him a favor but he turned around and bashed me in pm. read...

So him putting the pm here proves that he commented here on a thread I started in order to troll and cause disturbance. He could have pm'ed me directly with questions but didn't. when he said that I pm'ed him I thought he was reffering to that. Interestingly, I searched his name in my sent folder and nothing came up so I have no idea.

Where did I bash u In pm. I wasn't annoyed over the lowball. I was over the multiple Pm's that u can get it cheaper, it probably died in my tank anyway and that I was lying about other offers.

STOP TRYING TO GET OVER ON PPL
