$300 is probably a bit high for a tank that is damaged...
Where is the crack?
Have you tried reaching out to reptile owners? THe overflow boxes can probably be removed with a few razor blades and some elbow grease, and the holes in the bottom can easily be plugged up if someone wanted to keep a snake or something in it. You might want to talk to AWx2, he might be able to point you in the right direction for finding someone that keeps reptiles...

It's just the plastic trim. It still holds water and never leaked....I bought a new tank in case it did ever start leaking. Here's a pic of the crack:
I was also told that $300 is a lot for a reptile tank.

I didn't do this because I don't trust I would do it correctly
But now I'm thinking about just replacing it and then selling it for cheap.

That dosent look so bad....if it where a cross brace i would be worried.
That crack looks like it could be repaired with some plastic epoxy.Now if you still intend on selling it,this may affect the price significantly.
Good luck

I agree this doesn't look structural. Some well placed epoxy resin would fix this but good.
I wish I lived closer to you, I'd take that tank.
You might just be a victim of the fact that not a lot of people are getting into the hobby right now, especially on that scale. You might just store it and see what you can get in a year or so.
