.... But at first it looked as if you were labeling it as if you weren’t trying to make a profit or get compensated for your services. So then after the fact came out that your trying to get compensated then you look to stand to make a bit of profit (maybe I know I’ve bought a lot of fish and tried QTing it’s a tough deal, a few months back I placed a $900 order and lot 80%.). But know Jose is asking you to look in to sponsor ship here. .....
That's the funny thing. I'm really NOT trying to make a profit at this stage. I don't really know what the numbers are. Is my service free, yes. My time, space, electricity, ect is free. Could I work out some way for the "customer" to pay for food and medications, the fish themselves? What is bad about that? Is the QT process still free? I would say the service is still free. I just went back and re-read the title of this thread. Then I went through all of my initial posts.
My first post said i would QT someones fish for them for free. They could help out with a few bucks for food and meds. I also said I would help people acquire fish from a wholesaler I had access too.
There was a little confusion on my part about asking someone in public about where they lived. I made a bad joke. My humor is sometimes sarcastic.
On the very same day, within 4 posts, I defined how i would be willing to help people acquired fish from my wholesaler, without undercutting LFS's. The option was still open for people to bring me fish to QT for FREE or donate for food or meds.
Before I ever did my first QT commission I refined the terms further. I posted them publicly, nothing to hide.
I took my first QT commission and it went very well.
I refined the terms further and posted them publicly. no one was affected by the change to the terms, in fact the terms did not change, just the wording to make it more clear.
I finally refined my terms to exclude taking any fish I did not acquire, added a 7 day guarantee and only a set price for fully QT'd fish.
I have been upfront, honest, truthful, thoughtful and transparent. I'm not in this to make money. I have all that I need and am blessed every day to have it. I do want to help other people be successful. I have the time a resources to do that, so I will.
Though all of this Jose badgered me, called my a sneak, a liar, untruthful and many other names (you are right, nothing gets deleted. It's all here on public display for everyone to read). If he is the idea of an upstanding guy in your community then I don't want to be one, so please exclude me from the community your talking about.
