just my thoughts

["Michael Sloke" <sloke70 at hotmail_com>]

  Being new to the AKA I look forward to to the F&EL every month. I use at 
as reference point and to check out what may possibly be my next fish.  I 
save them all. However, I've only used once to acquire one of my first pairs 
of fish.  I buy and sell most of my fish at local auctions where they 
generally sell for $15-$20 with some type of split.  When I sell at lfs I 
ask $5 cash more for credit.
  Now in a position where I sometimes have 10-15 prs of fish available I've 
been contemplating listing in th BNL or trying aquabid
    BNL pro's- set price, fish go to good homes,dealing with reasonable 
people (hopefully)
        cons-  set price, will I get boxes too late?, is there a ddemand in 
the AKA for gardneri and australes?
    Aquabid pro's- sell more auction style?, big market
        cons- paypal/ reference problems?, leery of dealing with general 
public(buying fish)
  Seems to me that if the AKA offered a site where only memebers could list 
but the public could buy my cons disappear esp. if the AKA dealt with the 
money(fee?). The public would have access to quality killies that are AKA 
sanctioned and properly identified while being able to oggle all the fish 
pics at the site.
  These are just some of my thoughts with many problems still left 
unanswered.

Whenever someone asks oabout my fish I always direct tham to the AKA website 
which was always excellent and amazingly is now even better.
