Question About...

[fuman_chica]

umm... where did it move to? I clicked the link of it thinking it would take me to the moved post (or at least tell me what section it was moved to) but I can't find it anywhere.

I wish I knew... I'll just have to repost it.

While I didn't move it, I have a pretty good idea of what happened. It got moved to Buy, Sell, & Swap, as it obviously is a fish sales topic. If you read the rules pinned in Buy, Sell, & Swap, it states that it is for the sale of surplus fish & equipment. Getting in a shipment of fish for resale is obviously not surplus, and was complained about, so the topic got pulled.

that isn't very nice

It has nothing to do with nice or not, it has to do with the rules. Anyone can get a shipment of fish in, and mark them up for resale. That makes it a commercial venture, not a hobbyist selling off excess stock. That rule was put in place to prevent this forum from becoming aquabid, e-bay, or something similar.

The same applies to someone breeding with the intentions of ongoing sales. I do that, and you never see me selling fish here. Right now I'm looking at a styro with 40 fish I just bagged for an auction. This is a small sale, I have a 3 hour drive ahead of me going to the next state over with 6 other breeders. I have a guy coming over next week for 50 fish, and a lfs looking for 25. It is continuing sales, and you will never see me selling fish I breed for sale on this forum. That is the rule, I have to abide by it, just like any other member.

Thank you for clearing that up
