Re: AquaBid

I second Bob's notion below.  Since hearing about Aquabid, I have visited 
there daily and have bought stuff from good people like David Ramsey, who, 
like he mentioned in an earlier post, puts in extra fish just to be on the 
safe side.  Even better, the fish I bought from David weren't even on 
auction!  I bid on something and lost, then asked how much the same thing 
would cost.  If anything, Aquabid, like many have noted here, exposes 
killies to the public (both beginners and experienced alike).  Sure, you'll 
get a few clueless types, and no one wants their fish to die, even after 
selling them, but I'd say these cases are less than the number of folks who 
are killie types and who know what they want.  Additionally, there are a few 
guys on there who actually state that there fish come complete w/ care 
instructions.  Does it get any better than that?  Yes, b/c most if not all 
the sellers are also receptive to e-mails about their fish as well.  I'd 
have to say that b/c of these things, Aquabid is well on its way to being 
the foundation of a very interactive web community.  And if Bob's idea about 
special passes that allow instant payment and purchasing of killie stuff 
comes through, so much the better.  It'll be like a flea market for fish.  I 
myself look forward to such a place.
