Re: [GSAS-board] FW: BOB the giant loach

Hi Phil,

OK, since Margie isn’t involved, as the seller how would you suggest it be fairly handled? Technically Mike bought loach from “The Club”, the other choice would be have a board member contact Mike and make the decision. If there are any precedents that older member may have knowledge of maybe they can provide some suggestions

Not exactly. Margie and Mike switched the purchase at the time they checked out, so that it didn’t ever show up on her ticket, only his. Margie doesn’t have a stake in this one.

Hi Phil,

I agree it is a tough break, I do feel badly for the guy. Just so I have this clear, you auctioned the Clown Loach and Margie purchased it. The club got 40% and you received 60%. Margie then sold the loach to Mike as a separate private transaction. The loach died on the trip home.

I think the club is a smaller player in this than Margie and yourself. I would like to hear Margie and your views and suggestions for resolving it. I would hope that we would all want to see this resolved fairly; how would we like to be dealt with if we were Mike?
