Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

So here's one for you. I send a message to a dude about an item on ebay that I'm interested in. It ends tomorrow morning. I get a message back telling me that the item is sold. That's strange I'm thinking, since I'm currently the highest bidder. Shits me to tears.

would the item have the "but it now" option ...

cos that is a rort.. i have lost to that scenario b4..

Nup - I'm still the highest bidder as we speak!

They probably sold it in the classifieds today. Not sure how they will go about getting it off ebay, since I have a bid in (as did one other). I expect they will just outbid me and pay the commission. If I had the balls - I'd bid a ridiculously high amount to make them pay more to outbid me and therefore more commission. I won't though, cos there is always the risk of them getting the product back to sell to me at the ridiculous price

Ebay stuff you just cant work it out i put a bike on it was bid to 247 then the bloke said he had no money so offered it to the next highest he said no so then the next lowest he had bid 240 he then offered 100 so after a week put it back on starting at 100 heigher with a buy now of 300 bloody thing sold within 10 min

VB they didn't mean it was sold because they had a highest bidder.?

anyone had any experience with these pumps? Are they a water pump and air pump all in one? It doesn't really explain it that well?

Looks like a water pump with a venturi air intake on the outlet side.

Thanks, yeah that's what I thought. But the other outlet threw me. After having another look, there's a little plug shown in one of the pics that I am assuming is to plug up the additional outlet. Then I guess you can swap the outlets and not use the venturi? What's the advantage of this? Does it help airate the watr being pumped? For $20 I couldn't see it lasting to long!

Most powerheads and cannister filters have a venturi fitting. Frank would probably consider them a restriction on the pump, they do provide some aeration so I am undecided. Price is about right or a little over for a pump that size. Have a little cannister filter/pump in the aquarium put my own venturi on it been going for years (sometimes you get lucky)
