Is this a good price

[goalie66]

I know someone that is selling a 200 gallon tank with stand & top
for $450.00. I haven't seen it yet but I assume it is a decent tank.
They paid $2000 new for all of it. They are being transfered
and can't take the tank.
Thanks for any input!!

I'm going to look at it tomorrow night (THUR 10/10)
They've already said they would take $400.00 for it
so we'll see when I get there.
They are also selling a complete 30 gallon for $20.00
and just a 55 tank for $25. I already said I would take both of them. They had 57 aquariums in the house.

Get your checkbook out. That sounds like a deal! I'd take it if I could!

As everyone has stated, if it's in good shape buy it! It's a very Good deal!!

That is a pretty good price - I have seen new tanks of that size (with stands) at over $1,000.

Well went and looked at it. It's an Oceanic Tank with a wooden
stand, glass top with flouresent lights. Its 84 x 24 x 24 ½
Looks very well taken care of and I got an Ehiem filter with it
as well, not sure what size filter but it's a big one.
Anyway I am going back tomorrow night to pick it all up.
I have no idea where I'm going to put it yet but it seems to
be to nice a deal to pass up. $400.00
Thanks everyone for reassurring my thoughts that it is a good price.

GREAT DEAL!!! Set all of those tanks up, and you could start charging admission for people to come see your tanks! You'll need it to recoup all the money you're about to pour into those tanks (if you decide to set them all up of course)
