You're not the only one to observe this. I got so annoyed last month that I wrote a long, profanity-laced taxonomy of the CL freakshow. It was cathartic. :) For local purchases Denny's has 2 big sales each year. Unfortunately you missed the August sale, when all the tank deals are. Blue Sierra has an annual sale too, but I can't remember when it is. Those are the only local retail deals that I know about... nothing that helps you today. Keep trying Craigslist, and have your blood pressure medication handy. - MS On 10/4/07, Clifford Miller <clifford@clevergeek.com> wrote: > > > > I've picked up computer parts on CL several times, and haven't had any > problems...but buying aquarium gear feels next to impossible... > Also, any recommendations for local purchases of stands and hoods if I > break down and decide to go new? > > Thanks! > > Cliff > > > _______________________________________________ > GSAS-Member mailing list > GSAS-Member@thekrib.com > http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-member > _______________________________________________ GSAS-Member mailing list GSAS-Member@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/gsas-member
