Help Me Price My Tank...

[psalm18.2]

I'm in a situation where I may have to sell my tank. I've put so much into it, CO2, plants, cycled media, sand, and the betta.

To me it's priceless, but in reality how much could I sell this set up for?

I think first people may want to know what size tank it is, what filters, heater, lights etc before they can help with a price.

I’m not good with dimensions, about 3 gallons? I’d post on buy/sell thread for a best offer maybe. Not much help, sorry.

So based on it's deminsions, the tank your selling is 4.34 gallons.

It's labeled as a 2.6 gallon tank, but it hold 3 gallon of water.

So the betta and plants come with it? And what was the tank price originally?

Yes. Even a CO2 minI tank if the person wants it.
The tank goes for $79.99 at the Petco. I got it for $59.99 on sale.

You have to value in depreciation of the items as well as supply and demand for that size tank. Remember, lots of people might not want the fish and substrate at all. So if they have to take it, you might lose out on a sale as well. You did a lot of work into it but at the same time, nobody might not want it...it's like a house with a really nice back yard...not everybody wants that yard because it's a lot of hard work.

If the CO2 went for $80.00 and you've owned it I would say that you could sell it for half...the tank, if they can get it new at the store for...$50 for the set, perhaps you look at it for $25.00 unfortunately sentimental value can't play into this.

I'm thinking of listing the tank for $40 all cleaned out including the CO2.

Update. Sold the tank for $35 locally with craigslist. Someone got a good deal
