You should give the guys on TASA a cheaper price that what you advertise on junkmail...

 

hmmm, nice work slayer...yes, as a community, members on TASA should OBVIOUSLY get a discounted price...

 

yeah, i fully agree on that, perks of being a member, pity we dont have card that would entitle us to discounts at LPS, hmm I suppose that why we have the sponsors

 

where abouts are you tropicalboy ,i wouldnt mind the pangasius

 

Hi

Im in Buccleuch, Sandton

 

I don't get why people expect a cheaper price here on TASA. Sure, you shouldn't be making a profit on what you sell here, but to bear in mind that the OP bought the fish, fed them, grew them up and spent some amount of money just keeping them alive.

What he's put here is less than what I'd pay for the same fish of the same size at my LFS.

 

I agree with Salmon I give fish away when I can or I will sell them, and thats that you dont like then tough...

 

i don't agree with that, this is a place of learning as well as establishing friendships along the way...i would not want to pay LPS prices, if thats the case then we might as well buy our fish from LPS's, we all know that we get ripped off by LPS's, TASA is where we try and cut that out...just my thoughts...

 

Look at the end of the day this is a great place and I have earned a lot but in life we can not just get stuff for free... otherwise Dolphin would not have a business and I would be out of business as well (not fish related)

 

So... either we get ripped off by LPS's, or the people who are selling stuff here (at a decent price too) must get ripped off? Doesn't really seem fair.

 

not to far tropical im near eastgate,maybe i can take a turn there after picking up my fish from lizid?

 

Tomorrow Oscar????

 

ja tomorrow

 

I agree and disagree with y'all.

Selling on the forum should be cheaper than LPS, because we don't have high centre rents etc to cover.. BUT buy the same token, you don't find half those fish in an LPS in any case, so how can you compare the prices to an LPS that doesn't even bring in the stuff.

Let's look at it this way... who in there right mind would pay R300-R450 for a pair of Apisto's at an LPS.... no one.. not because we don't want them... but because we NEVER SEE them in LPS. So when a sponsor or TASA buddie get's them in for us... R300-R450 is considered a bargain for a pair of them because they are not the usual fish.

I personally will happily GIVE away my angel fry to any member willing to do the same to me. Offer me a fish, plant or hardward I'd like, and I'll give you the fish gladly. I'm not breeding the fish to make money... I'm breeding them because that's what angels do.. breed like bunnies! (If I can just get the fry to survive now.. then I'll have some for the forum.... until then... I learn how to breed them).

 

Kewl zoom hope i can get some from u

 

its not fair SA,you are correct,i recently gave away my tinfoils,TASA is not a place of business lizid,its a tightly knit community,its where we look out for each other and help as much as we can..when i first joined everyone was so helpful,i did not think of it as an online forum but instead a group o friends that i chat to,so if we cant give our friends the best prices possible,then who can we give?

 

I agree, JesseG, but lets say I breed my Dwarfs now should I give them away or sell them, and how about dolphin who gives us really, REALLY good prices...there is nothing wrong with making money but it is how one goes about it... where the problem comes from...

 

okay,i think you are misunderstanding me,dolphin runs a pet store,its his bread and butter,you cant compare your dwarfs breeding to his business,if you were breeding fish for a living then thats a different story..if your dwarfs breed,and you want to sell it then by all means do so,wat im saying is try and give the guys on tasa a good price..

 

I am pretty new here and my family has been in retail for almost 40 yrs.... Yes , the individual does have to pay for power , food , medicine BUT the biggest killer in retail is rental and staffing which he/she does not have to pay when operating from home, so the prices should be better then retail even if its 10%!
