How do you sell fish?

FutureBoyGenius · 08/08/2008, 09:33 AM

I end up taking LR and fish to my LFS when I have too much LR or an incompatible fish. I don't get near enough money for them. What do yall do?

I don't really want to get involved in shipping a fish.

In my case, I research alot before I buy.

+1 to above, or try to find a local reefer you can sell them too. Either way you'll never get what you paid for them, but at least you can give a fellow hobbyist a good deal rather than the LFS.

Look for local reef clubs to sell the fish to. That's much better than selling to the LFS

I agree with the others, It's best to research your purchases and not put yourself in that position. We have a local forum where you can list stuff. If you put a reasonable price tag it usually moves.
You could always list on ReefCentral, Craigslist or ebay for local pickup only.
