Closing Down...Again
« on: April 17, 2012, 06:55:58 PM »
Well, I have decided to shut down my fish room instead of finishing remodeling it.
As quite a few of you know (and will probably razz me about  :P) I tend to go through this phase on a regular basis.
I'm leaving for up north next week Wednesday, the 25th and will be gone 7 days.
Since my laptop had a catastrophic failure I didn't want to post the "For Sale" thread until I get back.
When I return I hope to have a computer up and running thanks to a generous member here (to be named later if he doesn't mind).
So, hopefully by May 3rd I will list everything that I have available....there will be a ton of stuff.
I will be able to bring stuff to the May 4th MCA meeting.

{There is a slight chance I might start the thread from up north as I will have access to a computer while I'm there}

Tony you should think for at least 30 days before making a final decision.  I have made tear-able decisions by not thinking about it long enough.  Friendly advice. :)

Isn't this like the third time in the last year? :P

My advice is this - don't liquidate your stuff! I listed a bunch of nice HOBs when I switched to an air driven setup a couple years back. No one bought the nicer stuff, while the price for BNIB went up significantly in stores, and recently I've started unpacking and reusing things I had previously tried to sell. I can say right now that I'm darn glad I didn't reduce prices to sell everything!  :)

Thanks for giving me time to prepare for the temptation. I will not buy fish, I will not by fish, I will not buy fish...

Tony quitting fish is like a girl who always goes back to her douche bag boyfriend.  After a few times you don't even pay attention to it anymore.   :P

So who's doing the pool on how long this time lasts?
I used to be a people person... but people ruined that for me.

 ;) I didn't say I was getting out of the hobby. I am still keeping my 190g Malawi tank and a 100g Tanganyikan tank (until I can unload the wild Kipili frontosa) and I'll keep a few other tanks around.
After all, I have that trio of Pseudotropheus williamsi "Makonde North" that I haven't offered up for sale (yet  :P) so they need a tank.
I was gonna put them into the 190g but it would be hell trying to get the holding females...100's of pounds of boulders and field stone.
Godzilla is heading to a new home soon (not soon enough for me)...we are just trying to coordinate moving the beast.
All the times I have sold things off was due to finances...or lack thereof  :-\. My job tends to be feast or famine.
