High5's Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I just want to thank Oblongshrimp his efforts and dedication to the community and providing all of us with a place to learn, share and form friendships. The respect,positivity and wisdom is so abundant here. Not only have you done all this for us you even went as far in a selfless manor by letting people be sponsors and helping them develop. All this say's a lot about you if not everything. Thank you! countryboy12484 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Instead of doing individual raok as sponsors. How about once a month, we as sponsors get together and do a group raok, kinda like the one I started for the 200 member milestone. What does everyone think? countryboy12484 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryboy12484 Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I know im not a sponsor but the next big RAOK I wanna contribute something... I dont have allot of extra stuff at the moment but ive got some nice ada stone and driftwood... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 countryboy, whenever you want to do a raok, feel free dude. Doesn't have to be a big one. Everyone likes raoks and games. Subtle, I think that a raok from each sponsor in their own section encourages people to visit that sponsor's area. A bit of publicity never hurts as a sponsor.

I just wanna give something back to our community. ..I would be all over some nice ada stone. I lover the looks of rock decor, but can't bring myself to pay the price for those amazing pieces. There's alot of rock here in the Huron river shed, but they are all rounded from erosion which isn't what I like. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simple supply and demand, those people fade away after they gain the rep of poor business ethics and product. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 To me the big thing is reputation. People like buying from people they trust. I know I will gladly pay a little extra to someone that I know I have done good business with before. A majority of times, they are members who care about their stock and products. h4n and ctaylor3737 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtletanks91 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Like many of us on here. I try to keep my prices low enough so I can make back what I spent. And get a little more of that product or put it away for future purchases. That's why I deal with so little people. The ones I trust are he ones I stick to. Trying to build a reputation is hard. Butt its doable and takes some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 Yea, I started actually selling about a month ago. Didn't do too bad, but wanna build up Triton Aquatics before I start getting to much into it lol Eventual goal is to have probably 10-12 plant only tanks and then a bunch of small 10-20g tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricM Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Watching how this all plays out. Curious how the sponsor ROAK go. ctaylor3737 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 So far, so good. As with anything new, takes a while to catch on- but a sponsor loses almost nothing considering other forums require you to pay as a sponsor.
