Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Aquamax local pricing, just curious.

It's mostly throught the BBG site that I could sell feed. I get inquiries all the time..."What do you feed your fish?", and I've always told them "Purina Aquamax 500", but I can't get any without special order and almost $1/pound. Then they say that they'd order at least 5-10 bags, but since they can't get it, they default to another cheaper option. Sometimes availability is all you need. People lose interest if they have to make an effort to get something.

I just looked back at my PM's from last year on BBG, and there were ten inquiries that would have likely totalled 100 bags, plus the twenty that I go through, plus the ones that TJ goes through. I guess it would be more like 140 bags instead of 200. Sorry about the exuberence.

I would never be interested in becoming a dealer. I think I'd need a special license, tax ID number, etc, which would be a huge PIA just to make a little spare change. It would just be nice if Lincoln, NE had a place I could get my feed. Truly the biggest hassle for me isn't the price. It's the travel to get the product. If you had that inconvenience and gasoline to the price of the product, it's just kind of unbelievable. It's not like Lincoln is some tiny town in New Mexico. It's the second biggest city in one of the biggest agricultural states in the U.S. Just can't figure it out. Tractor Supply Company is just a couple miles from me and they're actually a Purina dealer, but they refuse to order Aquamax for me....
