View Full Version : No longer able to support Private Viewings...

As business picks up on our website and the day-to-day chores of the business increase we are going to have to postpone private viewings. As you all know we are running this business part time, so between full-time jobs, families and keeping up with the business we are going to have to end private viewings in order to get the most from our time in each of these areas.

Some notes...


Private viewings are being discontinued. If you cannot make one of our Wednesday evening local pickups we can always move you to the following week. We are not concerned with immediate pickup and are more concerned with a commitment to a purchase. If the Wednesday pickups still do not fit within your schedule you might consider coordinating with a friend or someone who will be able to make the pickup.



We plan to continue as an online business. Becoming a Brick and Mortar LFS is not in our business plan.




We plan to continue our local pickups every Wednesday evening making our coral and products available to the MAAST community and locals.



We are working to expand our local market outside of San Antonio, making our products and stock available to Austin, San Marcos...etc.



Thanks for your continued business, we look forward to stocking your tanks...

well....I had been making exceptions for those that could not make the local pickups on Wednesday since we didn't want to turn away any business but it was becoming difficult to juggle the appointments with everything else....family, career, fragging, shipments, tank maintenance, photo shoots and all the other things we forget about but are responsible for with running a business....just seemed like one thing we could cut out in order to gain a lot of time back.

Once we get the 220 going I'm sure we can schedule a few private group viewings for those that would like to come by and check things out. Maybe do an open house or something one of these days.

But it's also important for us to know who we are and to operate as such. We are an online vendor, we are not an LFS.

Now go bid on some auctions....click the link in my sig. :)

Well it's nice to know you have a system that is working for you... Wish my life was more in order... Once you get those viewings back up you'll have to let us know... I'd love to swing by. And I've been watching the auctions closely. I even have the link in my favorites... :D
