Anthony and Passion of the Sea

gcarroll · #1 09/19/2007, 11:44 PM

Has anyone heard from Anthony? I still can't believe his store is for sale. Anthony was a big help to me when I first got into SPS and even back then it was his dream to have his own store. I just hope his shop goes into good hands. Over the years I have purchased many Gems from Anthony. I truly hope he stays in the hobby even if he is getting out of the business! Thanks for all the nice corals Anthony! Good luck to you and your family.

Oh no, that's a shame! I haven't been there since before I previously took the break from the hobby. Anthony was always a great help and had good stuff. Looks like a good deal for this business.

thanks guy for the supports throughout the two year.. no i will never be out of the hobby.. i am just too burn out and with the new baby.. i am just not spending enough time with him and i feel guilty and dont want him to gone through what i have without a father for most part of my years.

Anyhow.. please pass the words out for me and if there are someone that is truly wanting to be in this business.. this is a great opportunity.. here is what i offer to reefcentral people.. if someone is willing to take over the store and run it like how it suppose to.. I will give the store for the first person that comes up with $45,000.00 .. yes.. that includes all the inventory and live/dry goods... i will not take anything out of the store besides my personal items.

please help me to pass the words around.. thanks guys

that's amazing if you really think about it.

some of us have easily invested $5000 or so just to have one single tank.

for only $40,000 more you can have a whole store.

thanks bro.. like i said.. i am not make any profit selling the store at this price.. i just dont want to see all the things that i have done go to waste.. i rather just loose money and sell it to someone that will have the heart on continuing the store and make it better as i am really slacking off and dont want to see it ruin in my own hands... again.. thanks for those that have PM me.. and those PMs are replied..
