Does this forum drive down pricing??

Then if you look at it from a point of view that someone who wants to get into the hobby but can't afford or is put off by the high cost of new equipment this is the perfect place to get stuff. I personally wouldn't want to go out and spend $1-3000 on tanks and equipment only to find that for whatever reason can't do it. It is a much easier pill to swallow if it is mostly all gotten for well under 1k.

You will never ever get what you paid for it but at least you get something back and that it isn't cluttering your space up either

i hate selling on this forum because of lowballers and some buyer hold you account if something went wrong down the road (like after a week) and it is kind of stupid. So I am no longer post items on here to sell

Some people do put FIRM ...others OBO so it the first doesnt move, they sooner or later will adjust price. Esoteric, specialized equipment sell better here than a common item like a tank which is common on craigslist, kijijji, usedwhatevvverrr.com and so on and seem to command better, higher prices because of a larger audience too.

Also , for certain instances like moves, or lost of employment, divorces, people sometimes must liquidate quickly thus crazy deals do occur because of the circumstances.
