ANOTHER UPDATE from Sherman Tank
ANOTHER UPDATE from Sherman Tank
In the words of Emily Latella: "Never mind!"
In the words of Marc Sherman:
I am a Pisces. I live in the grey world, not the black and white. I have a tendency to change my mind, and I have. But I have decided on a new model in running my business.
1. I have stopped answering the telephone; it takes too much time away from customers in the store and from work that needs to be done. To solve the problem of knowing what's in my store, after the 17th of the month I will have a website with a list of my fish as they come and go in and out of the store. This list will be updated as the fish arrive and leave.
2. HOURS - we have changed our hours. We are closed on Monday and TUesday to recieve our fish and give them our full attention as we put them away, and to take better care of the fish that are already here, and get the store ready to be open WEDNESDAY through SUNDAY. The hours of operation will be Wed - Fri 12 to 6pm, Saturday 10-6, Sunday 11-5.
3. I no longer do water tests. The serious aquarist should own a test kit, and I will start carrying test kits at the most reasonable price I can.
4. We no loger take checks or credit cards. I am running a STRICTLY "cash only" business.
5. WARRANTIES - ALL items will be sold "as is". I am a fair person, and if I feel it is my fault, there can be exceptions to that rule.
I am 58 years old, overweight, and need to simplify my business and my life. I want to add more aquariums to my store, and create more of a "my fish room" effect - kind of like coming to my house and buying out of my collection. I thoroughly your patronage throughout the years. Keep an eye on my list; you may find something you like! You can save some gas this way too. Wednesday, when we open, there will be a whole new collection of fish to choose from. We will send out an e-mail with the URL as soon as the site is operational.
This weekend, all the freshwater fish in my store will be half price, or will have super-specials even better! Live plants half price or better!
Thursday we had a new shipment of saltwater fish arrive. Some specials - Flame angels $39.99, yellow tangs $27.99, Flame hawks $29.99. Many other fish and invertebrates; live rock $2.50/lb.
Driftwood - 60% off! Decorations - 60% off! Plastic plants - 60% off!
Other aquarium supplies discounted form 10% to 50% off - we have a lot of closeouts
Thank you very much; I appreciate your business.
) There are a few blatant misspellings, etc. but we can hope that this is just release 1.0. (Actually, Sherman Tank used to have a website several years ago but obviously the domain wasn't renewed since it seems to be held by a squatter now (who is probably asking an obscene amount to buy it back.)
