Why not set it up so that only AKA members can list for sale (good reason to join!!).  We
already have an ID and password for the members only section and we could use that (or
similar) password to log-in to list the fish.  Then,  have it so that anyone can buy.  This
may be a good way to get others hooked --er interested ;-) in keeping killies.  This type
of system would allow us to keep the "Code of Ethics" in place and enforceable.

Just a thought.
