ally07 Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I recently bought a new heater as well (300W AquaOne). When I was looking on Trademe, even though there were really cheap options out there, I didn't feel safe buying a brand I'd never heard of. There are too many stories of heater malfunctions to take a risk, IMO. Why scrimp on a few dollars when your prized fish costs $400+ lol. I still ended up going to my LFS to get it because the price difference was about $5 and the seller wouldn't allow pickups. I didn't want to run the risk of the heater getting damaged or broken during shipping and go through the hassle of sending it back. I was better off paying $5 at the LFS down the road. I guess what I'm trying to say is: 1. People won't buy it if it sounds like it's a cheap, made-in-china, no frills brand. 2. With something as fragile as a heater, allowing pickups would be helpful towards a sale. 3. It might be a bit of an uphill struggle establishing the brand name here as trustworthy, because people will still go back to the Germans for their equipment. Just a few thoughts!
