I remember a few years ago when I was saving up enough store credit to purchase my current system. I had a surplus of mounted Xenia frags that I offered for free to MAAST members. I gave one particular person six very nice frags, at that time the person was active on the board, so I offered more to him. After this guy left my house I decieded to go to AA to pick up some supplies, and to talk to Jason(AD) for a while. When I arrived I saw the guy who had just pick up the Xenia frags, leaving AA. I go inside to check out the reef tanks in back, and there they were all six frags I gave him up for sale. It really ticked me off at the time....
Life has a way of teaching people like this a lesson. Its a great insite into a persons character.

WOW Troy, that is unbelievable. I understand that some people will try to make a fast buck from time to time, but when it happens in plain view for everyone to see, over and over again it is sickening. We as a group shouldn't have to put up with this at all. If there is anything we can do to try to help limit or eliminate this type of behavior, please let me know. I am tired of biting my tongue and hoping someone else would say something about it. Now is the time to be heard.
