lol mike I wouldn't think you are talking about me as I haven't tried to sell anything except for a 72 bow RR which I have not bumped lately so will shamelessly do so in this response lol $350 Come get it someone.
I also agree that your word is your word and if it is in WRITING there is no getting around it.
Sell it for 70 bucks or STFU
RTFP! especially if you are the one who wrote it!

Mark aka Stage3 check it out you just met a huge DOUCHE BAG just walk away and be the better man. and I think I remember seeing and add like that posted by Coralcruze but I dont think that a 2 month MR member would pull crap like that.
I think that the same way you cant post or Pm like other sites do they limit until a certain amount of time or so many posts would be good for this site to weed out the douche bags. just a thought (mods Josh hint hint) if they want to buy or sell on MR let put in the time before they get that privy.
Oops sorry mike just noticed you kinda said that whole let them thing I agree with you motor.

Hello Brendan, The OP is refering to me and trying to smear my good name which he will not suceed in doing.
For those that don't now me, my name is Ben and I'm the person this OP is refering to. I have been in the hobby for over 15 years and never until now have whitnessed such childish behavior. Seriously, I have two kids and can expect that from them but this, come on.
This person has twisted the truth and left out some comments he made to me which were pretty derogatory. Now having said that, many of you here on MR and even here on this very thread have actually purchased from me and I will not mention any names, you know who you are. However, many of you have come to my home and know that I'm a stand up guy and by all means I'm not a vendor. I am in fact trying to sell the equipment that I have accumulated over my 15 years in the reef hobby. In fact most of my things were sold off already and the very post that the OP is refering to has not been bumped for weeks. have a look http://www.manhattanreefs.com/forum...-hobby-adter-15-years-everthing-has-go-4.html
Its important to note that the OP started this thread and sent me a link to taunt me. I guess he figured that I would stay far away quietly like I have something to hide or something. Well I have absolutly nothing to hide at all. The guy PM'ed me telling me that he'd like to purchase one of my reflectors and my feeling was that I would not sell the other remaining parts to the light kit if I did. You know what, alot of you on here actually talked about how we all help each other out ect ect. well thats exactly what I "thought" I was doing. I figured that since my listing states that the "TWO" reflectors are $70 "EACH" in other words $140 for the pair and I think that is obviouse if anyone reads the sell thread. I figured that I would help him out and offered to sell only one reflector at $110. This way he would pay a bit more and I would take a slight loss knowing full well that I would never sell the other reflector. I thought this was very fair. The guy turns around and starts saying that I'm a pompus ass ect. Just take a look at the OP. Now am I wrong for asking more. I don't feel that I am at all in this case. I paid well over twice the amount that I'm selling the reflectors for and in fact the many people that have come to my home know what type of stand up guy I am. Just take a look at the fraction of the folks who have written feedbacks for me and what they had to say. Take a look and ask them if I'm a vendor. The truth couldn't be farther from the truth.
THE REAL ISSUE: The OP is obviousle upset that I will not sell him only one reflector at $70. and he came on here to have a shoulder to cry on thinking that I'm going to hide from this stupidity. well here I am. I have absolutly nothing to hide from. If you want to spread lies and extort those lies make sure you do this with someone less than honest. You got the wrong guy in this case my freind.
Brendan, I have given you my phone number and if you wish to contact me. Please do so anytime as I will be available all day tomorrow. You know who I am. Just wanted to give you a heads up that sometimes people start posts purely out of gain for themselves or simply to make themselves feel better just because they think they are right. Well there are always two sides to every story. Whatever the case may be... I am here to clarify my position.
Oh and one last thing... The main listing that this OP refers to has not been bumped since 5/6/10 at 1:19 am so the OP PM'ed me out of the blue on this wanting me to sell him the reflector. One thing that I'm glad the OP did was link me to this thread in a PM so I can have a chance to respond.
Now that I did and its out in the open, I feel better

The one comment I have coral is the way your posted it would make anyone believe both for $140 or $70 for one- you should have posted $110 per or package deal both included for $140. I think that would have prevented this thread from ever being written
Oh **** every1 better say what they have to its gonna get ugly and the CHIEF gonna close it up. I just hope he closes the original for sale thread also it is very misleading and if you really did say what stage3 posted then...
THE VOTES ARE IN YOU ARE A DOUCHE BAG.

Point well taken... No one is perfect. I thought it was clear when I worte it but I'll take your suggestion and change the wording. Heven forbid I should be called a douche bag or something far worse like a pompus ass
However, I don't think that alone would have totaly prevented this thread. It takes a special type of individual that tries to throw mud in someones face when they can't get what they want.

This thread is funny..BUMP 4 the late crewwwww..I was just instigating..but realistically I think some one would buy the other reflector, it's not a big deal dude

lol this thread is out of order
This is true, But I still dont see the fact that I have to pay more if I only want one reflector? That still does not make any sense to me. And who says you wouldnt be able to sell the other reflector for 70? Its just the principle of the matter. So now If I give him 110 for the reflector, he is only going to sell the other one for 30 bucks so he can get his 140 that he wants? I highly doubt that, as a matter of fact, he most likely will sell the other one for close to 70 bucks therefore getting an extra 30 bucks out of me. That is the point im trying to make. This stuff has gone on far to long, and im sick and tired of it.

I have not misconstrued any information about you or anything you said. Everything I said is factual and objective. I have mearly stated my opinion on your selling tactics as well as your intentions to make an extra amount of money with my purchase which I belive is unfair. I kindly left your name out of this thread as it is mearly just an example. Unfortunately for you, you decided to go down this road and make me out to be the bad guy here. Im only here to help everyone through this, and to avoid this kind of behavior in the future. Being a 15 year old reefer, im sure you are mature enough to understand the points im trying to make here.

buy new if you dont want to pay the price, ive been passed on buying stuff for what ever reason, it is his stuff and he can do with it as he please's, it does appear that each one would be $70 and the wording is a little off.
