Whatever my dad is paying for it and he won't do 300 so your the one that made it personal you changed it to 300 when you knew he wouldn't do that so sorry but you even agreed to go down which makes it even more dissapointing.
Holy Crap what did I do?!

I'm leaving it but will still be your friend I don't want to spend money on something and then back out of it due to no interest. I'm sorry and will still be your friend.

dude, this guy thought 250 was too expensive when i was selling him my tank. it had everything including metal halide light and a new bulb. some people dont know that things just add up in this hobby, they expect everything to be cheap. you gotta start somewhere i guess.
i ended up going from 250 to 200, so didnt lose that much

That's cool. It seems my dream of getting one of my friends from school into sw has come to an end. Jared, there is a sale on a certain site, and you can get a nice biocube with pc's for like 130$ it's a 12g. It's small enough to fit nicely on a sturdy shelf, and won't be that expensive to fill since the pump and lights and everything is included. I'm not going to force you into anything, just saying, it doesn't have to be expensive, just people who enjoy this hobby will spend a lot of money on lighting and different filtration types, which is helpful, but not necessary.

An online forum is probably the wrong place to hash out the drama of a business transaction.
If I was his dad I wouldn't spend $350 on it either. If the kid doesn't have his own source of income it seems dumb to buy him into a hobby with a constant upkeep. There is also the question of whether or not he will continue to be interested in it.
Aside from that you can set up a 20g tank new for $350, so unless you've got some exceptionally spectacular or hard to find livestock it might not be that great of a deal. Without absolutely top of the line equipment or extremely impressive livestock, I wouldn't even consider spending $350 on a 20g used set up. So he may not be trying to rip you off. It may just be that you overspent initially and your asking price is too steep.
