No kidding, I just noticed your the one who posted about having ich, are these fish in the same tank?
Not a wise thing to try and sell fish fomr an infected tank, not only can you cause issues for yourself in this club, but you could cost a fellow hobbiest thousands of dollars.
If these fish are in the same tank as the infected angel please disclose this information.

There's a certain amount of buyer beware in any sale, but failure to disclose that you're selling fish out of a tank that's known to have issues is a serious thing. Some folks have thousands of dollars and years of care in their tanks. Disregarding that is bad karma for sure.
That said, like I posted on another of your threads, most experienced hobbyists will set up a QT tank for new fish purchases. I learned my lesson a while back when I brought home a fish that was in the very early stages of velvet. I trusted the seller (my error) and it wiped out nearly all of my fish when it bloomed in my tank. After that, all fish spent time in QT before going in the main display. Some fish, like the wrasse that you're not sure you're going to sell, do not do well in QT. Because of this, full disclosure on your part is crucial.
Beyond that, as someone else mentioned, it's nearly impossible to sell anything if you don't list the fish you're selling and give prices for them. And damsels are nearly impossible to even give away because they're so aggressive and cheap to begin with.

looks like a red coris wrasse, and it will eat invertebrates, eventually. It also requires a 6ft or larger tank, which means your tank is far to small for him. I would recommend you sell him to someone who can provide an adequate home for him.
Also other fish look like a 3 stripe damsel, domino damsel and blue reef chromis
+100 on needing to fully disclose the issues you have had so far

The BOD (aka forum mods) aren't here to babysit and make everyone behave...sorry. We do step in when things get out of hand, but we otherwise just ask that everyone conduct themselves appropriately given that this is a family site. Yes, we do try to remain fair when it comes to sale threads as that's easy to monitor, and the pricing critique can get out of hand fairly quickly, and can easily leave people upset.
Speaking for myself and not the BOD here...I'll go ahead and publicly ask that you remain civil, act like an adult, and refrain from further name-calling. Personally, I will not go out of my way to analyze every tongue-in-cheek comment that some of our more sarcastic members post up...IMO there is a huge difference between sarcasm and rude/offensive posts.
This site isn't heavily moderated and so let's try to keep it that way.
