Cl drama, isn't it stupid?

Understand but don't group everything together just because you have no clue

Does the fact that it is illegal make it more desirable? Forbidden fruit

Would we see a huge increase in ownership of RBP for example if they were legal?

Of course we would see a huge ownership increase then we would see a huge explosion of free rbp on clist...i have seen rbp down in oregon by the tank fulls being sold

i love craigslist. picked up a 240 acrylic worth a solid 1000$ for 50$, 135 custom glass worth about 300$ for 60$, and most recently a 75 gallon tank and stand worth a solid 200$ for 40$ so... 1500$ in tanks for 150$ isnt too bad no matter all the crap thats on there.

yeah craigslist is great for that and I think most of the users are good honest people but some are completely bat s crazy...... and when ever I see RD/Convict hybrids or any hybrids I try to pick them up or any fish that is not going to be suited for most people due to size (ex: pacu) because I know a few guys with heated indoor ponds that are willing to take them when they can if nobody else can..... CL is like a city it has alot of good people, a lot of people who don't know what they are talking about and of course a few loser, scammer, dangerous people but as long as you try and avoid them its a great tool................. on another note does anybody know why PEOPLE POST ADS IN ALL CAPS LIKE THIS BECAUSE I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND IT AND WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE SOME INSIGHT

more attention i guess

I don't think so. I have had "illegal " fish because they were good tank mates for my community of "Monsters"

I have owned RBPs before and they are kind of a stupid fish. Nothing like Cichlids, always darting away when you walk in the room. Also Portland( RBPs are legal in OR) is so close that any hobbist that wanted them would just take the 3 hour drive.

I agree, piranhas are some of the most skittish fish i have owned. if you want to see them swim around you have to all but hide and wait. cichlids have way more personality, it isnt even close.
(there are a few species of Ps that are really pretty, but its hard to appreciate it when they hide from you)

I put some words in caps to enficise that word and make it stand out. Like WILL NOT PART OUT but yet half of the emails ask me to pull of this piece of the tank and sell it dirt cheap and I say to look at the add and read before you email.

My all time favorite was one of the beggars asking for free tanks who had the gall to put in his add that he would not pick up tanks. Yep wanted it free and delivered!

Hmmm.... maybe craigslist is the place for me. I want someone to deliver a big, free bag of money to my doorstep.

There is someone that does that.... publisher house, or something.... readers digest.... big time brain fart right now!

Yeah, but I think he died...

I get to deal with a fun type of cl crazies in the next couple of weeks. I have been searching for housing option when we move and I hate having to wonder if its a scam... When we were last moving this one guy said mail us this money to thailand and we will mail you the keys. Sigh. Moving is stressful, why do they have to make it five times harder?

Be careful! I once found a flaming paper bag on my porch and put it out with my shoe. There was no money inside.....

Well duh... who would light money on fire?

Well money always burns a hole in my pocket!

Isn't that the truth... case in point my amazon prime addiction.
