Have you ever bought something or found something for free and intended to resell it at a later date for a profit. This could be aquarium related or not it does not matter what the item is.


I know this may open up and can of worms and opinions. I just want to know how many people have done this before.

I think anyone who has any sort of hobby, likely has done this at some point in time.

Sure, but never out of spite or malicious intent. I've been given stuff in the past and thought I wanted/needed it, but ended up not so I sold or traded it for a profit. The profit could have been $$ or just getting something I needed or could use which to me is a profit as well. I can honestly say though that I've never done this with aquarium stuff. Guess I haven't been in the hobby long enough yet.
