I just figured other people who want to grow corals must be equally insane as I am :)

Michael, I hope it isn't my stuff that stopped working...

LAUGHING....I feel insane about it many late nights with the flash light in one hand and the turkey baster in the other......

Jack,

Your stuffs is working GREAT!!! Your a GREAT seller, I'll buy your stuffs anytime!

Laughing at Robert!!! :D :lol: :lol:
 
I think I'm all caught up and have put the pieces of the puzzle together... While it might suck, if you have the buying power to do what was done... then I suppose there's nothing that can be said.

Good deal @ $600 from what I understand.

PS... at night is how i caught my emerald crab doing naughty things. I'm glad he "passed away". If he had more meat on him... I would have boiled him and ate him with butter!!! LOL. :)
 
Rsteagall... Hmm, Sorry you must have misunderstood my PM. I am pretty confusing and hard to read sometimes ;) I even confuse myself most days..

This is the 1st PM saying the tank was worth $800-900 retailnew and I would take $400 for it. I was just throwing out a # and excited I just got a call to come and get it.

I got the tank for you if you want. $400 for tank/stand canopy. I think its 800-$900 new on there sight. He has it listed in a thread if you search his name. Can't remember if I linked it for you. Call Me 557-****.



But then I reaserched it myself and it cost $695 retail and I would figure the % of retail we got the deal at and just charge you the % but I didn't know the # yet. I had some people chomping at the bit wanting it and I just wanted to know if you was onboard for the tank at my cost %. This is the post I talked about that deal in. Sorry the $695 jumped out at you, that was brand new prices ;) I was confusing I guess!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My 2nd PM to you...

This is what he told me but its more like $695 and add the overflows and acrylic cover so its not $400, I am figuring what percent loss he took on his compleat set up as a hole and just gonna price each item for what the % was he took. Make sence? I am not wanting to make money or rip anyone off, I just wanted to get it for a few things for myself. And no not wanna make profit. I will figure it out and LYK... Ar eyou ever seriously interested? I have 2 people in line behind you wanting it if not...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"This is what he told me but its more like $695 and add the overflows and acrylic cover so its not $400"

I meant that statement as its not $400 more like $250-300 but I was gonna run the math first. I see how it was confusing, you should have just asked me to clarify. No hard feeling at all :) Its already sold so I am not stuck out the money.

FWIW I gave him $600. He didn't want the headach of fooling with 5 different folks and who had "dibbs" so he took a even bigger loss to not deal with it. Boy he was smart. And the % I gave him worked out to be 28% of retail so he took a beating! The tank/stand/canopy at 28% was gonna be $200 your part for the tank stand canopy. I wish you would have asked me to clarify my PM instead of just saying "no Thanks" Which BTW it was very nice of you to be nice and not ugly even though you thought I was trying to screw you. I appreciate that.

And lastly I am just so upset over this deal. It may just be my OCDkicking in but I have been very hurt. This is my rant to a freind VIA PM today.... This just summs up my frustrations. I have been really convicted to stay off the computer and spend the time with my kids anyways lately so what better time than now. I doubt I will be posting much anymore. Thanks to all you guys for being my outlet to the world the last few years and I feel I have made some true freinds but the time has come for me to move on and concentraite on my family more than whats going on with the club. I am not leaving with hard feelings I am just not gonna be hanging out on here anymore like I did.

This was my rant...

OK here is my rant... You all know I am not good at this cutting and pasting stuff... This was my feelings and I am a girl so I need to get them off my chest....

My PM to a freind...
It was redicouluse how Kalied treated me. He wanted all 3 of the most pricey things for himself and went freako on me in a PM telling me I do everyone in the club wrong and no one likes me kinda stuff. he don't need people like me in his life and to enjoy my new stuff....
I just shot him a fast PM when I got home saying I was gonna try the skimmer under my tank and see if it outpreforms my AquaC since they are rated the same and he had 1st dibbs on it if it didn't fit or work out and he went instantly crazy. If he would have nicely said he REALLY was counting on it and wanted it you KNOW I would have been SURE... No problem. I would never make anyone mad on purpose. Its way underrated for my tank anyways! I just wanted to try it out is all. And my skimmer rated the same could have been had in the G3's spot....If I liked the G3 better.

I ended up getting the deal at 28% of what it retails for and I am charging folks about that to part it out. A little something for my trouble but not much. And if he had just kept his mouth shut he would have had a $325 ozone set up $200 woth of seios and Maybe the skimmer. Retail value of $784 for $219. Not to mention the fish he wanted. I did pass on the same 28-30% price to ckreef for the PBtang and 50 lbs of rock today and offered the same deal to regstall(sp?) who wanted the tank in the thread originally but get this. He finnally got back on line last night and said he was just getting in line for the tank because "if" he decided to go with it he wanted first dibbs but sorry, he had changed his mind. So I was stuck holding the bag.... BUT There were Plenty of folks PMing me wanting the tank so I was not mad. I sold it to hurley12's dad for $350 with sump, a mag 12 and all plumbing. A dab over the 30% since he was not in on the original split but a great deal none the less.

I am so upset at this deal, then wogglin brought it back up to the top....I agree with him, I am sick of the board and going to bow out of it also. If I have questions I can ask them to people I know who know the answers and be better off for it. Sad thing is I give everyone who comes down free stuff and always have even when I didn't have much. I never say mean things to people who say they want something and never pay me after I hold onto it and some have even taken stuff and "gonna" pay me and didn't say anything and was seriously not mad. So now wogglins post makes me wanna go stick up for myself but I am just gonna walk away. I even PMed the guy, Jeff that night, because I felt bad for low balling him and told him if I made my money back over the $600 I would send him up to the original $800 he wanted. Keeping what I wanted for free for the time and gas and trouble of splitting it. I am gonna get rid of my stuff I am selling off and turn into a lurker. Life is to short to get mad over a coral, skimmer or a few dollars. You try to be nice to folks and suddenly you are the bad guy. But thats just how poeple are. Thats why you should always put your faith only in God because "people" will always and only let you down. Hmm, I am on a seriouse soap box!!! I lauph at myself for talking so much.....



I am not gonna say who this was to but it was my heart and I was seriously upset over the deal. I try to do right by everyone I meet. I am sorry if I have made people feel like I wronged them in any way in the past but as some of you know I have been diagnossed Adult ADHD and I am pretty forgetful and spacey. I never intentionally ment to do you bad or whatever :). That was never my intentions. OK Gotta go play with them kiddos like I promised them 45 Mins ago!

I will be posting some things I am downsizing of my own stuff and a few things from the this 120 this week but after that I am bowing out of the teenage dramma. I have 3 daughters and am sure I will have plenty of that in a few years anyways! :lol:

Not to get in the middle of everything but I wanted to say Angela always treated me right. Heck I was one of the people that didnt pay here for something for months and she never even mentioned it. Angela always tries to help out a fellow reefer in my opinion and I salute her for that. Im sorry if anyone felt wronged in this deal. Thanks tough to Angela and many others on here I have come to enjoy and spend way too much money on this HOBBY!! Chris
 
This is the exact reason why reef clubs should be about sharing our tanks, learning about the hobby, and being generous with what we dont need any longer.

What is it worth to save a few bucks? Saving some money, or getting in arguments, and alienating people from the club over it.

NO it's not....and I didn't start this and it should have ended yesterday. I don't care either way. But, everyone on here wants to take sides at the smallest little thing that was said and probably do not even understand what was going on.

I don't want any part of the deal. I stated that in so many words and this happens....what a great way to divide up a club membership. I didn't take it any further....Leave it be go on with your life.....

:D :rollface:
