Good Price?

[KonvictKeeper]

Been looking around for a 90g tank for cheap...
Found this:
fish tank

How good of a price? Should I get it?

 

[Scouser]

What does it come with?

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Eh i think its an ok price, with stand?

 

[KonvictKeeper]

The tank and a home made stand.

Won't work on my iPhone lol :/

Oh sorry I guess its not too much of a deal... I could get one brand new for about $205 at a LFS.

Hmmm, I here a lot of people talking about Craig's list? Cregs list? Jack sparrows list?

Somethin like that anyways lol, maybe try there? A lot of rich beginners sell nice set ups for cheap after they fail the first time

 

[KonvictKeeper]

Thats where I found it

I would say it's a good price but if you wait their are probably going to be better on craigslist!

 

[KonvictKeeper]

It is on craigslist!

 

[Scouser]

It is on craigslist!

Relax! Just because this is on there doesnt mean better ones aren't, be patient an wait a while before you buy.

I would say wait. Check craigslist everyday. It's always when you buy something that the next day a super sweet deal pops up. haha

That's definitely not a good deal. I'd wait. We had some places in town that were without electricity for several days last winter... a few weeks later, there were some killer deals on tanks on CL.

 

[KonvictKeeper]

Thanks guys!
I was not trying to be rude or sound mad. And I have been checking craigslist everyday for the past couple months. I'll wait and see what I find.

 

[TheCrazyFishLady]

Oh, another great option is Goodwill or Salvation Army. Call around to shops near you and leave your number. I've gotten and seen great deals.

I also would try driving around to yard sales or around restaurant districts. My friend found a free 125g in front of an international store.

 

[KonvictKeeper]

I'll check them out too. Wow free is always the best!

You could try offering the person advertising it on Craig's list less than what they're asking. What's the worst that could happen, they might say no but they might take your offer! IMO that is a little high for a 90 gal with a home made stand. I bought one of my 55 gal 's at a yard sale with a wrought iron stand for $25! Nothing was wrong with it except it was pretty dirty and didn't have lids or a hood. They wanted $50 but I offered them $25 and they took it!! Good Luck!

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Hahaha low ball em!! But seriously, just wait because there are much better deals els where

I use a app on my nexus called craigspost. It looks for keywords like "fishtank" on your local Craigslist and notifies you when it matches what your looking for. Super helpful

Agreed... "meh" at best IMO.

Also... I don't think it's a 90, I think it's a 75. The footprint is the same on both tanks, but the 90 is 24" tall. Given that both tanks are 48" long, the 90 should be half as tall as it is long. If you look closely at the pic, it doesn't appear that this is the case for the supposed 90. JMHO... keep looking. HN1 and I paid less than that for a 5' 120 with stand.

*edited to add*
The homemade stand on wheels sounds like a VERY bad idea.
