Okay guys, what do you think about this find for $200? It's a 75 gallon. It's the tank, hood, stand, Refugium, protein skimmer, and led light. The only problem I see is that it is outside. I am worried that the wood is warped because of rain and outdoor weather. It seems fine in the pictures though. What do you guys think?
I have learned to not exclude higher priced listings. I actually scored my current 120, stand, 300lbs of aragonite sand, 3 acrylic overflows, 2 pumps, and a protein skimmer for $400 he was asking $950. All brand new.
For one I don't lowball people but I do explain why I came up with the number. You always see package all or nothing deals.... Frankly I or no one else for the most part are looking for that. We all have our ideas on what we want to build. Long story short he had been trying to sell it for a couple of months. It was way out toward Youngstown so not convenient by any stretch for me. I told him what I was building and was really only interested in the tank and not really anything else. I explained that even though it had never seen water it was 5 years old and I was assuming all of the risk blah blah blah... I ended up offering $200 for the tank if he would sell just the tank but said I'd do $400 if he wanted me to take all of it. He called me back a little while later and accepted the 400 offer. I traded and sold off what I didn't want etc. guys want to sell it as a package because it takes time to part it all out. They always tell you just sell what you don't want.... Well my friend that takes time so I am not going to pay you the premium and do,all the work to part it out.
Here it is 8 months later...
