A guy brought in a Panther Grouper at 12". He bought it a few months back. We pay 1/3 of what we sell them for. He bought it for $60, and thought he should get more than $20 because it was BIGGER. He was lucky he was even allowed to trade it in, we'll be lucky to sell that fish. In my opinion, we shouldn't be selling them, and people shouldn't be buying them. -1 all around.

good call
 
well, not exactally a dumb customer, but check out my post: ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! oh the humanity! that is a really funny/horrible/sad one
 
Store credit pretty much means you buy the fish for nothing as the money you give them in being flowed through the store again for other purchases.

Unless it dies or you can't sell it. :(

well this wasn't a dumb customer...but..


On the way up to ocean blue, i stopped in at petland to just look around. They had a sign saying "COME SEE BRUTUS THE GIANT FISH!"

Brutus was a 6'' oscar.
i was like
....my fish would eat that.
The lady was like : no no. Oscars are to agressive to get eaten, and no freshwater fish gets big enough to eat him anyway.

:ROFL: met so many people like that....

Purchases they would be making anyway if they were a regular customer of ours. We basically are giving them what we would pay a distributor for the same fish. Or in this case, we wouldn't even buy a 12" Panther grouper from a distributor. It's basically from a business sense worthless.
 
everyones fish keeping has to start somewhere i guess, i didint start smart either. I didint know about cycling and everything, but was lucky enough not to loose any fish, it was only 3 africans in 55gal.

now ive got a 250gal and setting up other tanks,
but then again i was willing to learn, some people arnt.
