Taking a Break, Clearing out 'Inventory', Selling my baby

Howdy all.
It feels like its been a while since I've been active on here. I've been really busy with work, home stuff, etc. and unfortunately I've lately felt like I need to take a break from the hobby. (I know, I know, I'll be back...someday.)

So here is most of what I have available; I hope you all find some things you can make use of. My descriptions here probably won't be super detailed, but don't hesitate to ask (PMs are quick!) for more info on anything. I'd like to get rid of most/all of this, so (as time goes on) I'll be more and more willing to drop prices and bundle things. Everything is "OBO". But, my goal is to set good prices to begin with. Good? Good.

1. This one is my baby. Hate to see it go, but I'm not putting the time in or getting the joy out right now. :(
Equipment:
24g Aquapod. Glass is in good condition; can't find any scratches.
Black Stand.
Current MH fixture with 12 LEDs.
Tunze nano skimmer
Upgraded MJ1200 return with rotating Diffuser
K1 and K2 in the tank for flow
3" Live Sand
~30# Live Rock
Livestock
~16" anemone
Mated Pair False Perc Clownfish from Robin (Fingerwrinkles); host in anemone.
Longnose Hawkfish
Yellow Watchman Goby (with pistol shrimp)
Pistol Shrimp (with goby)
Fire Shrimp
Peppermint Shrimp
Assorted Cleanup Crew
Several types of sponges.
Corals:
Lobo
Reverse Sunset Monti
Pokerstar Monti
Christmas Favia (~30 heads)
Green Favia
2 different chalices (one red, one red/orange with green mouths)
Purple SPS with blue and peach undertones. Really cool looking. About 4" long with 18 different..."upshoots". I suppose in the near future it could make about 20 different frags.
Green Acans
Red Acans
Orange Acans (~30 heads...may owe some back to BAR DBTC)
Pink Birdsnest
Candycane/Trumpet Coral (~30 heads)
Assorted mushrooms
Assorted Zoas
Neon Green Polyp'd Toadstool
...and probably a few other corals I missed in my cursory glance.

I'm going to throw a asking price of $700.
[I got there by estimating $200 for the tank, $200 for the MH w/ LED lights, $50 for the stand, $130 for the skimmer, $50 for the PH's, $160 for the anemone (16" x $10/inch), $50 for the mated pair of clowns, $50 for the hawk, goby, and pistol, $90 for the LR and LS, and practically giving away all the corals...and then subtracting a lot of money. :thumbsup: I think it's fair, but we'll see if anyone bites.

Someone had asked about the anemone in a PM.
It is a RBTA with a red/blue/purplish base. The tentacles are a solid red.

Also, part of #1 is an auto-topoff with a pump and RO reservoir.
I built a DJ power strip into the stand as well.

In response to The Chromis:
The Shrimp are part of #1, which I am planning on selling as a package. I'd suggest you buy #1, take the two shrimp, and then part the rest out and make about $500 or so. It's fool-proof! :)

The powerheads (#6) are listed at $10 each. Or buy all 11 for $70.

The Aqualifter is "make an offer" so... please feel free to make me an offer.
 
Hey all.
As far as #1 goes, I won't part out on this thread. If a couple weeks go by and there's no nibbles, I'll create another post breaking it down.
I would much prefer some entrepreneurial spirit takes it off my hands, cherry-picks whatever he or she wants from the setup, then parts-out the rest, still turning a profit! :) (You know you wanna...)


Chromis, yeah, I think I can do that. PM me to talk details.
 
Fastrd400: No, I hear ya. I'd prefer to drop the price $100 than to part-out. I'll see how things are going in a week.

Eldiablosrt8: I think you've been to my house before; you may have seen it! Please PM me your cell phone and I'll MMS you a picture of it. Sorry, but my camera was stolen a few months ago so that's the best I've got.

McKevinFang: PM replied, thanks.

Spencerx15: never got your PM. Try again?

All PMs replied, thanks.
 
Tom - Are those clowns Robin's Darwin's (dark body with orange face) or more typical false perc's? I'm looking for an established pair of clowns (anemone too) so if you end up parting I may be interested. If they're the Darwin's I would definitely be interested.
 
false percs. laying eggs, all that.
You should totally buy the #1 package, take whatever you want, part out the rest, and make profit off of it! Piece of cake!
 
Throwing the ad up onto Craigslist. Hoping for a bite.

We have some big news coming, but I'm not allowed to announce it for a few more weeks. Trust me that I'm not just being greedy when I need to get as much cash for this as possible...
