I believe we should have a rule requiring that anyone wishing to regularly sell fish and equipment on the forum be a CCA member...seems if we're requiring that vendors become sponsors to do the same, that something similar might be in order for opportunistic others lest we become a fishy version of Craig's List. Making stuff available at discount is one thing when someone is getting out of the hobby or looking to distribute spawns, but I don't see the point/value in or to CCA serving as a third-party interface for commerce without compensation, more so as a $20 annual membership is hardly excessive/burdensome and especially when balanced against multiple offerings totaling thousands of dollars.

its obo...I would have adjusted my thread to a proper price. my original price was just a feeler.

there are MANY, MANY other fish forums that have BST (buy sell trade) sections that do not even ask you to do anything for them. the only reason I like to post things on this website is to get local people stuff. and what do you mean by "regularly"?? so someone can come on here and post 1 thing a month without paying for it? and then someone who posts 3 times a month has to pay $20? I personaly do not have the resources to do anything with the club. I can not make it to any meetings nor any auctions. Why would i HAVE to pay to put my stuff out there?

Reciprocity. You can look it up since it doesn't seem to have been a part of your studies. Good to know where we stand...

i would gladly give back to the CCA forum if I used this forum for more then little transactions and small bits of knowledge. You were very nice when i met you in person, now your being somewhat of an ***. I dont talk down to you in a demeaning manor.

I kind of have to agree with Sam on this... you are 100+ posts into your time here on the CCA website. I am sure you know by now if this is a valuable resource or not for you. Membership doesn't have to be just about meetings as this club has shown that it is much more than just a monthly meeting. Heck.. I am only able to make it to 3 or 4 meetings a year due to work, but consider the $20 a bargain.

And the "little transactions" thing... kind of an odd statement since the original price for your tank was $1000?? Look at it this way... $20 is 2% of the asking price of the tank... thats... what... a third of MD and DC state sales taxes, and less than half of VA state sales tax. I dont feel like "Reciprocity" is such a bad word in this situation... nor "Gratefulness"?

Nice tank, but I work in a Pentagon and don't know if I can handle one in my house.
