last post in that link is a bit harsh....? didnt know we couldnt trade or sell?
Hound,
It may not be well known by those that don't frequent the selling forums, but that's the rule, we do not allow the trading or selling of non reef related items.
Here (http://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=1185967#post1185967)'s a link to where you can see that rule in print.
If you don't want to follow the link, this is what it says;

These forums exist as a service for our members to trade and sell their personal reef-related items. They are not intended as a commercial outlet.
If you are trading or selling equipment, repeatedly selling new equipment, having multiples of the same new item(s), or being able to "get anything" a poster may ask for is a sure-fire way to have your post removed as "commercial."
Sorry, the trading or sales of non-reef-related items is no longer allowed on ReefCentral.
Ebay auctions have become problematic and will no longer be permitted. If you wish to offer a non-commercial sale here, the community appreciates that. However, advertising Ebay auctions is not what these forums were designed for.
Likewise, ReefCentral encourages the sale and trade of items between hobbyists, but please don't go out and buy certain corals or equipment with only the intent of re-selling them here - that's not what these forums are here for. Also, once you have a website set up specifically to sell your frags, begin accepting credit cards and/or have automatic web-ordering, you can figure we will judge you as a commercial enterprise.
Finally, a word on etiquette. These are not discussion forums. If you wish to purchase or trade, please post. However, if you only wish to comment on the quality of someone else's trade item or their price, with no intention of buying/trading, please keep it to yourself. These type of posts only sidetrack the thread away from the goal of the original poster - trading or selling their item.
Please keep in mind that these forums are a service RC provides. Following the above guidelines help make the forums more user-friendly, and certainly makes them easier to moderate.
Thank you.
Kevin
