Ocean In a Box

Blah blah blah

Tell Steve to give me a call, He has the number!!!!!

Ca2or, your thread signature says you are a worthless liar and an imbecile. I dont know you, but I'll take your word for it!!!!!

Ca2or, Well that made a lot of sense. Does anyone have an aspirin? Never mind, just give me a loaded 45!!!!!!!

There cute, cuddly, and adorable. Well, if your a pistol shrimp. Very similar to this one. http://melevsreef.com/id/goby_n_shrimp.html

Theres a waitlist, but your #1

Im not going to be the target of anyone on this board any longer. If you buy something from me and you feel cheated, mistreated, overcharged, or taken advantage of in any way then fine, but all this finger pointing and back biteing by others is going to stop tonight. 99% of all the negative comments made about my company are from people that have never stepped foot in my facility or even would know me if they passed me in the street. I came to this board to be a sponsor not a moving target. I came to give you the customers a value, and I do. If you have a justified comment about OIAB I am all for constructive criticism, but this is simply garbage and I wont be your scape goat anymore. (threaten)

Well Bob, thats great for you if thats your stratagy and it works. I went onto the Internet while at Vances and looked up the price of these fish and after seeing what the price was decided I might be able to buy it, market it, sell it, and make a buck. I took all internet pricing into effect and took 20% off and came up with my price. Nobody sells this fish for $50. If thats what you would have sold it for, good for you! Why didnt you buy it? I come in long after you guys do you buying and pick up whats left over. Im not there when the door opens waitng for the bargains. Once again, focus on your business and not on what im doing. You might be surprised how much more in sales you really do!!

I have to disagree with the thread somewhat and here is why. Like I said, it's just pure jealousy. Both fish in which Frank is talking about are fish I have either sold or are in the process of selling. So in esscence he is talking about OIAB. The sad part about this whole matter is. Both these fish are fish that the other LFS passed up and are now crying because I bought them and was able to sell them. WE ALL BY FROM THE SAME PLACE. Yes, they know where I bought them, and they know how much I paid for them. Quit your belly aching and worry about your own problems and growing your own business. I am documenting every complaint and every thread. If I continue to have customers that come into my shop and tells me joe blow fish store said this about you, It wont be pretty. Im tired of all this BS. We'll call your place "Perry's fish store" and simply call it expansion 101. You know who you are and you best shut your traps.

Your getting off topic and making it personal? If you want to make it personal then say your peace and be done with it. Im getting pretty tired of you trying to bash every comment that I make. You dont have to try and critisize someone for trying to earn a living. If you can show me one valid website that sells this fish cheaper(incl s/h) I will sell it and donate 100% of the proceeds to the charity of your choice. If not, then @#@# me!!!!!!! my price $129 shipped anywhere USA. Thats a fair and reasonable price.

Thats a heck of a price. Would you be willing to send me a picture with a flash?

Seems like a lot of things strike you as odd. PNWMAS is not a place I scour trying to compete with fellow hobbyists or for that matter even other suppliers. But neither here or there, Have you ever noticed how when one burger joint puts something up for sell they all do? Whats your point?DOH!

Or, we sell them all day long, various varities for $15 per head!!!!! All shapes, sizes, and colors!!!!! Thanks Finch for the plug!!!!

Frankly it is just more jealousy on the behalf of the LFS that is whining to you because so and so is doing so and so. Business must be real bad if all these guys have time to do is biotch and moan constantly. Me personally, Im working on surviving and building a business and personally for those of you that don’t follow the same practice (LFS owners), you’re going to sink and fast. If you think your going to grow by spanking your competitor you better get a reality check. The only reason Im posting this is because I know you all will read it. I could care less if you respond or not. You know im right on this one. Yes, I did sell the frogfish online and the person was extremely happy with it. It wasn’t a person on this board and it was their offer that I accepted, not me asking a price. Here is a post they left for me on another forum which is easily accessible for your own reading and it was their offer to pay the price not mine, so whay!!!. Hi, Would you be willing to sell it for $200 shipped to NY? Please let me know. Thank you, ??????????? __________________ Angels on the sideline, Puzzled and amused. Why did Father give these humans free will? Now they're all confused... The spikefin goby is still for sale and will go on eBay at "RETAIL" pricing if nobody buys it. I could care less if anyone from the board buys it. Look them up on line and see what they go for. My selling price is $129 “SHIPPED”. Cheaper for a local pick up. If you can show me a lower price for the same fish then do it. Otherwise, well you know!!!!

I mean ocean!!!!!

You can PM it if you dont want to post it publically

Yes, can you please give me that info?

In fact how many times did I come in and buy corals from Patrick or Woody and pay full retail(not even wholesale) to take back to my house and frag them for sale? Ahhh, the good ol days!!! A lot less political back then and so much funner!!!!

Cmon now, you remember where I started. You have been to my house on many occasions and seen my garage. It was a growth in progress.

EXACTLY!!!!!!!(clap)

An item is worth only what your willing to pay for it. If you pay $99 or $199 your the one that has to be happy with it. Do your homework. Compare your prices!!! And also ask the LFS how many they have in stock at that price. I'll bet they dont have any. And if they do, tell me so I can buy some. but chances are they dont!!!!!
