Did you get more stock in this week? I'm ready to add more fish to my QT tank.

They did get in order in. A ton of stuff. I nabbed an ultra green BTA from them for 22 bucks. They have a ultra long tentacle i almost got for 40.

I've noticed most of the sponsors have not been posting new stock lists recently. Unfortunate because that's what gets me into their stores most of the time, when I know they have something I want.

Yeah. I know PA gets a shipment every week regardless. I stop buy every week even if just to get food or snails.

I know. PA got a bunch of stuff in last week that I was interested in but my QT tank was broke down because I had to move it to a different room. The last few time I showed up I dropped almost $100 because everything is so cheap you just get so much for the money. But I don't want to make the drive through rush hour traffic unless they've got something I want.

I miss living down the street from them and going every wed at five. Met a few maast members each time and always went home happy. Next semester when I don't have night classes on Wed I'll be heading down a few times to pick up some stuff but only if a list is posted and it's worth the drive.

I try to stop by on the way home from work, but getting out onto Eckhert towards Bandera to take a right at 5PM is not easy. I also bowl on Wednesdays so it puts me in a time crunch if I buy anything, no time to acclimate.

I guess with online shopping we get spoiled being able to see everything in stock, but I can imagine how much of a pain it would be to post stock every time you got something new in. On the other hand, what are you willing to do to get people into the store? Just my opinion though b/c I know those posts get my attention every time.

It would be awesome if all the LFS posted their new stock, I think it really drives us MAASTards to the stores.

Seeing a stock lists motivates me to get into the stores...I'm lazy, and like to know my odds of coming home with something I want.

But then again, some would get upset to get to a store only to find out the item we wanted was sold....


Some would!

But if they already made the drive, might end up buying something else instead.....I hate going home empty handed!

Stock lists with prices is fantastic IMO.

I live a little far out and a stock list always makes it a little easier to make the trip in if I see something I want.
Then theres those days where you go from LFS to LFS blindly, trying to find something particular or something new, not knowing what each store has. Then you buy something at one locsation and see something better at another....I think we have all been there haha. No need to continue.
I always enjoy looking at the new lists every week from all of our LFS but have been slightly disapointed lately...but I also understand how repetative and boring it must be to type up the list from every shipment.

How about live webcams on the tank so you can see the fish swimming and eating before making the drive.....
