Nice assumption there!

Wow....just found out the person who took the tank who "prayed and grovelled for it" (according to the original owner) just resold it for $600. Nice....

ugh... doesn't that just make you want to throw things - like that person, out of a window, maybe?

Report him to Rev Can That's a capital gain of $600....... it's taxable

If it seems to good to be true, it probably is

The above all apply.

Does that mean because it's $600 now that suddenly it's better? (I'll shut up now, lol)

Hmm, I've bought some nice systems that were dirt cheap and they were great deals. Full 120 reef, oak cabinet/canopy (8ft tall), MH halide lights, 200 pounds of rock, custom sump, skimmer, all livestock, etc, for $175. Thinkin' that's a pretty good deal....

Ok, negative Nancy!! Just because it's cheap (or free) doesn't mean it sucks. Maybe it doesn't in this case (I didn't see the ad before it was removed), but yeesh!!
