Fish Auction site just for BC?

[thharris]

I was kinda board and I haven't seen somthing like this created. I do like these forms but for actualy looking for fish it can be abit annoying sometimes.

So tell me what you think, BC Aquaria Auctions

no it is done already..canadian connections. no one bids. slow..

Canadian Aquarium Connection - Auction

I get everything I need from the vendors here and off other members in the classified, and would not bid in the auctions. Seems a bit like reinventing the wheel to me.

I could easily incorporate a Bidding type style system on BCA here, and it would be convenient because everyone would be registered, but... it wouldn't be used at all. I think we have a good classified section here which does the job.

I say no as well, it would just turn into a "Vancouver" only Auction for obvious reasons.

I wouldn't use it.

I've found that between April, Charles and Pat(Cdn Aquatics) they can pretty well get me in anything I might want, it might just take them a while to hunt them down. Throw in the "odd balls" that I can get from IPU, I'm pretty well set.

IMO bidding at an auction site is risky unless the seller has a good reputation and how do you get a good reputation on a start up site unless you are already in the business like April, Charles or Pat?

Just my 2 cents

I see what you guys are saying, and agree classifieds on this form are a great resource. I was just thinking that it would be nice to have somthing that was easier to browse, instead of just looking at pages of replys

I guess just auctions wasent the best option but maybe somthing that would make it easier? I don't know

i think i would be a good idea if we added this to BCA because there would be more involvement in purchasing stuff. Every time i see an item on the classified that i want thats already been sold its no good but if we can have some bidding system i think that would be benificial. Kinda like ebay. Buy now or bids

[thharris]

Yea I'm not really a fan of just entering a price, Its just nice that you can just post it and let the market set a fair price.
But I guess thats just cause im a noob and don't know what anythings worth.

i personally wouldn't use it, Much prefer to trade or buy off members at listed prices. Many don't use the classifieds to make money here, just use it to get rid of unneeded items/livestock/plants to someone who needs it. Plus you can be picky with who gets what
