2 x 250 Watt ballasts for $75

[ostrow]

Thought I'd sold these but guess not, so here they are again:

The boxes say Diamond Horticulture DMH250. They are standard M58 core and coil ballasts.

These are sort of DIY I think, but the boxes say Diamond Horticulture DMH250. That may just be the boxes, hard for me to know. I'm the 3rd owner I think (Scott A. and then Dan J.) and I got them with the setup when I bought Dan's tank (Scott's before him). I'm guessing 5 yrs old or so. Some rust on the boxes, which, by the way, stay quite cool somehow and they are quiet, quieter and cooler than my new ballasts.

They work fine. I just replaced with one of the dual 250 HQIs that have been available of late, so I am now overdriving my bulbs.

These have always fired Ushios, Reeflux and Iwakis with no problem. ABs had occasional firing issues but that was pretty rare and I think a bad bulb. Never tried any other brand with them. But, again, they are standard M58 so use that as your guide.

Both have long extension cords for remote access. No sockets or reflectors, and NO I won't ship! For locals only! They are heavy suckers!

I want $75 for both (not each, both) if possible. I think that's a reasonable deal. Will keep them as backup if I can't get that.

Best to email me (I don't use PMs) joel at ostrows dot us

Also have 1 reflector and socket I can throw in, and some bulbs about 6mos old Ushios.

you open for trades ?
I have a big todastol 8" wide 10 tall and a gorgonian tree 7" tall lots of branches they both grow like crazy

 

[ostrow]

Pretty sure it's sold. Thanks.

 

[ostrow]

And just like that, they are still available. Third time they've been claimed only to have a no-show.

So, if anyone needs a couple old, used ballasts at a pretty unbeatable price let me know.

Very much prefer email.

Thanks.

For that price, I'm very tempted to buy them just to resell them for a profit.

 

[whirley]

Are they still available? Any chance you'd sell just one?

 

[po2lony1]

yes I would like 1 to

 

[ostrow]

I'm not opposed to selling one to po2lony1 and the other to Whirly, but it's the meeting up that's sort of turning me against this. I've already spent a lot of time on deals fallen through and would much prefer to sell together.

So, following the clam deal with JIm McD, I will only sell these together, if 2 folks want to arrange to split them that's fine with me but I want to sell them together in one meeting.

 

[whirley]

po2lony1, Are you truely going to take the other?

I have a buddy that's willing to pick up my ballast. I'm ready to paypal ostrow....but we need you to buy the other one.

(previous post).

I have one person who seems interested in both but has not yet committed.

At this point I have to go with the first firm commitment to buy that takes care of both ballasts.

Ok, until 3:30pm Wednesday, these are on hold pending sale.
