I live for the CABE
I have to say I've never dealt with the "Fish" but by all the praise ( 99.9% anyway)....what one walks away with this tread, is that the CABE is a great community of people who stand up for each other and your reputation depends on your actions as a dealer, a bit like eBay with positive and negative ratings, only a little more personal. There is always going to be a sour lemon in dealing with the general public, I know, I've been buying and selling antiques (and other "things") of all kinds for 40 years and you can't please everyone. A quick story: I bought an item from a CABE "member" a while back and shipping was a tad slow after payment after messages saying it was shipped. I contacted the owners of this site after a few attempts at messaging the seller with no replies. The site owner did reach the person and low and behold, success and in a day or two, the item arrived. The CABE is a close knit community and a great place to buy and sell for the most part, but it has something eBay and other sites don't.......kindred spirits who really do care about each other ( or at least put on a good face 
)
And yes.......before publicaly bad mouthing someone, try to work it out in private.
My 3 cents......minus a penny,
