Rsteagall... Hmm, Sorry you must have misunderstood my PM. I am pretty confusing and hard to read sometimes
I even confuse myself most days..
This is the 1st PM saying the tank was worth $800-900 retailnew and I would take $400 for it. I was just throwing out a # and excited I just got a call to come and get it.

I got the tank for you if you want. $400 for tank/stand canopy. I think its 800-$900 new on there sight. He has it listed in a thread if you search his name. Can't remember if I linked it for you. Call Me 557-****.
But then I reaserched it myself and it cost $695 retail and I would figure the % of retail we got the deal at and just charge you the % but I didn't know the # yet. I had some people chomping at the bit wanting it and I just wanted to know if you was onboard for the tank at my cost %. This is the post I talked about that deal in. Sorry the $695 jumped out at you, that was brand new prices
I was confusing I guess!

My 2nd PM to you...
This is what he told me but its more like $695 and add the overflows and acrylic cover so its not $400, I am figuring what percent loss he took on his compleat set up as a hole and just gonna price each item for what the % was he took. Make sence? I am not wanting to make money or rip anyone off, I just wanted to get it for a few things for myself. And no not wanna make profit. I will figure it out and LYK... Ar eyou ever seriously interested? I have 2 people in line behind you wanting it if not...

"This is what he told me but its more like $695 and add the overflows and acrylic cover so its not $400"
I meant that statement as its not $400 more like $250-300 but I was gonna run the math first. I see how it was confusing, you should have just asked me to clarify. No hard feeling at all
Its already sold so I am not stuck out the money.
FWIW I gave him $600. He didn't want the headach of fooling with 5 different folks and who had "dibbs" so he took a even bigger loss to not deal with it. Boy he was smart. And the % I gave him worked out to be 28% of retail so he took a beating! The tank/stand/canopy at 28% was gonna be $200 your part for the tank stand canopy. I wish you would have asked me to clarify my PM instead of just saying "no Thanks" Which BTW it was very nice of you to be nice and not ugly even though you thought I was trying to screw you. I appreciate that.
And lastly I am just so upset over this deal. It may just be my OCDkicking in but I have been very hurt. This is my rant to a freind VIA PM today.... This just summs up my frustrations. I have been really convicted to stay off the computer and spend the time with my kids anyways lately so what better time than now. I doubt I will be posting much anymore. Thanks to all you guys for being my outlet to the world the last few years and I feel I have made some true freinds but the time has come for me to move on and concentraite on my family more than whats going on with the club. I am not leaving with hard feelings I am just not gonna be hanging out on here anymore like I did.
This was my rant...
