Ouch, I have bought two tanks without water in them but they were dirt cheap. I don't think I'd ever spend that kind of money without insisting that the tank be full of water when I arrived. Sort of like test-driving a car, not a good idea to buy it just from the picture posted on Kijiji.

An experience like yours though is a great example of how a buyer/seller rating system would benefit forum members. I do understand the reluctance to provide a place for us to publicly trash each other though.
