Reef ready 72gallon bow front aquarium

[Big Bacon]

First of all I want to say, this tank is in pristine condition. I can only find one micro scratch on it and it completely dissapears under water.
The tank is a 72 gal Bow front fish tank with a built in overflow. The tank has a matching stand and canopy, they are solid oak stained wine red. The tank come with glass lids and overflow plumbing. All this for just $400


If you want more of a full settup for $600 I can include your choice of refugium or wet/dry filter, a return pump of your choice, activated carbon, metal halide light fixture that needs a new ballast, half bucket reef salt, about 100 lbs of live sand, about 70 lbs of live rock with some leather corals and some green mushroom corals, and some kalkwasser.

I decided to use the 92 gallon corner bowfront I have so I need to sell this. I took $100 off the price for the full settup for MASC. I think these prices are more than fair and I priced it so low because I need the money as soon as possible for a trip to Florida next week hopefully.

Sorry I cannot go that low. Thanks for the offer though. I could probably do like $360 for just the tank, stand, and canopy. Its not just any tank, it is realy show quality.

So what's the story?

 

[Big Bacon]

Someone is suppose to be buying the whole setup at 8

 

[ShelbyJK500]

So not taking asking price and going into a bidding contest?!? I know you're new to the community...just a heads up...most of us don't like games around here. It's been noted.

 

[Big Bacon]

The first person to respond offered me $250 and then I was swamped with responses. All this happened within an hour so no one had committed to the tank. At that point I had like six people trying to buy the tank and obviously I'm going to go with the highest offer. Personally I think its a bit uncool for you to post this up to try to make me look bad after sending a person message just because your mad that I didn't choose you out of all the people who wanted it. You were one of the last people to respond to the post to be honest.

You're new here, so let me explain this to you as nicely as I can. When someone offers you you're asking price within an hour or two, added with much correspondence on items you might like toward a trade, and then tells you several people want the tank and you don't know who responded first...that's when I call BS. EVERYTHING is timestamped now days. Emails, texts, phone calls, etc etc. After that non-sense you ask what the "best offer" is...that is just starting a bidding war even though your asking price had been met...SIGHT UNSEEN no less (which I RARELY do). Those are the games that aren't beneficial to this community.

FYI, I have lost out on MANY great deals on here simply because I was 2nd, 3rd...heck 7th in line. It always goes in order. When you're 3rd in line for something I think most of us don't send a PM or email offering more to try and screw over the people ahead of us. It's the "honor" system in a community like this. Thats, it. I don't care that I lost out on this tank. Seriously, I have a fish store at my house. I'm not going to lose sleep over missing a deal...IF I LOST THE RIGHT WAY. Anyhow, I'm done. Glad you got double what you were asking.

So, is the tank sold? I dropped you an email around 4:00ish, wanting to stop by and check it out.

+100 Shelby i hate guys like this its bad business on good forums like this maybe he should stick with ebay or craigs list

 

[Big Bacon]

Sold

 

[asn-naso]

I am curious, how much did you sell it for? I can understand going with the highest bidder by X:00, capping it off at your asking price, but agree with everyone else that you don't ask $x.xx for something, then change it to an auction for more then you started off at.

 

[Big Bacon]

Ya I probably should not have posted it on here thanks. No one offered my asking price until I said best offer gets it. Shelby didnt commit until today and by then it was too late. I had not promised the tank to him or anyone else. I didnt blow anyone off. I considered offers which were all under my asking price and then when someone offered $800 I took the offer. It is kinda wrong that you are assuming that I am just blowing people off to get more money when you guys do not know the whole situation.

 

[Big Bacon]

My asking price on cl was $700 for the whole setup and this guy offered me $800 and I took it. No one else offered $700 and the people who just wanted the tank were offering $360 and under up until I said best offer gets it.

I don't know the situation but I have delt with you enough on Craigslist that I knew it was a matter of time before your antics started here.

Dude i think you put nail in your own coffin. Most people here will bend over bckwards to help each other. I understand a lot of the new people dont know how we operate. But i am dont buying or selling to people that dont contribute positively.
