The ad looks good and your website great. After they buy from you they will be back

IMO, Jon, these ads might generate you a sale.
The first ones you had up were for less fish with expensive shipping and I doubted hobbyists would bite. But, these deals sound much better.
FYI,...often times, expensive shipping can kill a sale to a lot of hobbyists looking for a specific fish or group of specific fish. Good that you have offered options to the buyer as well.
Mind you, only my opinion, and all have one, but worth considering.

Good luck with the sales. I hope you sell them all !
As Mike said, once anyone buys from you, they will return, as you have top notch specimens !

All my shipping is same price. Buyer pays shipping either way, I just worded it different. I don't make anything on shipping. I usually have to eat a little. In this ad, you choose shipping method, but if it is dead, it is dead. So the buyer has option to get 2nd day or overnight. Once payment is in my account and fish are dropped off, it is theirs. The other way, I had a bit of a guarantee worked in.

Either way, with aquabid, I am just trying to drive different IP's to my website. I doubt doing much there is worth my time.

FWIW you may want to see if you can re-format the list of fish choices, I found it a bit difficult to follow. Are you allowed to put your website in the ad? Perhaps "for more pictures, click here" with a link to the gallery on your website? I didn't see a way to get from the ad to your website, so I'm not sure how much traffic it will drive.

Good advice, I set it up on aquabid different and then it compressed it. Good thing about it is that in one week I can try again. I put a link on 2 of them but forgot on the first. Even then it won't link right, so I have to figure that out. All in all, I will try for a better one in a week.
