This post is probably on the wrong topic but I can't find one for it.

The owner of a 100 gallon tank is selling it for $60. Sounds like a great deal, but West so cal residents can only buy unless you're willing to persuade the seller for shipping. Here's the link.

I moved your thread to the General Discussion Forum.

I what's wrong with it that they're selling so cheap?

eiginh

I'm not sure, buyers will have to call and ask for questions.

shipping would kill you on that and probably about the same as going new...im wondering if that pic looks like its bowed in the middle? that is a great deal if truely there isnt anything wrong with it !

$150 for 40 gallon with cichlids! + 20 gallon tank for free w/ goldfish.

Wow, personally, I think both those tanks are trouble. They're both overstocked

eiginh

I agree, but maybe someone may be interested in buying the fish!

Dozey

Yep… That is at least 6 too many cichlid’s in a 40 gallon and 4 too many goldfish in a 20 gallon tank.

Although still a good deal if you think you can re-home many of the fish.

if you look on MFK classifieds forums, you'd see why things are so cheap as well as on craigslist in that area. It seems that the turnover in that area of the country on large tanks and large fish is phenomenal. You can get some insane deals if you don't mind paying other inflated prices such as higher living costs

eiginh

Higher cost of living is totally right! gas is about 2.59 for premium and a dozen eggs cost almost 5 bucks! Idk if outside of cali residents were notified but sales tax has increased from 8.25 to 9.75 and increasing to 10 starting July!

Another good deal, but tank looks unused for awhile!

Look at the ad again...

IMO $75 for a cracked tank isn't a deal at all.

Lucy

Not a good deal for fish, it's cracked

Edit: I've merged the 3 threads you've found on Craig's List. I don't think it's necessary to start a new thread for every tank ad you find.

If you find one you're interested in buying and want to ask questions about the equipment etc. please feel free to start a new thread.

Oops! sorry, scratch that out the list. Thank you for regrouping the posts.

Here's a new one that is great.

Not on an 80gallon for sure. I'd pay 20-40 and fix it up maybe, depending on measurements.
