Buying used...

[reefgirl189]

I've bought used many times off of canreef members. I've many positive experiences and one bad one.

My tips would be to see the actual item before buying if you can. Do not trust that the seller's opinion of what condition the item is in is true. i.e. What is their opinion of "Great" condition is really your idea of "poor" condition.

Make sure you try to buy from someone who has a reputation around here that they hold in high regard. People selling big ticket items like radion leds or bubbleking skimmers who have only one post are kind of suspicious. Especially if they live in cuba or something and want payment before shipping.

If you can try to find a complete set up or near complete set up it can save you hundreds or thousands and it's a great way to get in the hobby.
