Ok you are all correct when I started this hobby it was nothing to drive and look for live worms drift wood and if some one was asking for a price for some thing which was always about 1/3 of the price you did not ask if a bmw came with it you new how much some one paid for it and if you wanted you got it I am still old school I don't cut peoples prices when they are already giving you a deal your not doing the seller a favor by buying some thing second hand you are doing your self a favor buy not paying full price I do not have a camera I do not even know how to put it on a computer all I know I have round tank a round water bucket and I want around $615 for it. I think it would be much easier for the seller if he just gave what he was selling away for free then he would not have to through all the extras in for nothing.

Mr.Restless, I'm really not surewhat you are rambling (and you are rambling, re-read your thread if you like) on about but let me just say this then I am off this silly thread. This board is full of people who have been in the aquarium hobby for years. I myself started this hobby nearly thirty years ago, I was breeding & wholesaling Angels & Rams when I was in high school. It drove my Mother nuts. Your "old school" comments can stop any time. You are not the only person to ever collect in the field BTW.
The simple fact is you are asking top dollar for an item that does not hold it's value except in very specific circumstances. i.e.:Starfire. If you are not going to take the time or effort to provide details of a sale that is quite the standard on every board that I have been to, please do not be surprized when folks start asking you questions. Also, don't be surprized to recieve feedback of this nature when you are just plain rude & offensive.
Good luck with your sale, may I recommend www.craigslist.ca

you should probably put a warning up for any english teachers who might stumble upon that post. Pretty sure that brutal a run-on would give them a seizure.

but in all seriousness, 617.57$ is a hell of a lot of cash (and a very odd number to ask for to boot). I dont think many people would want to commit to that kind of purchase on a tank without at least seeing it beforehand. sure, you can say that most people who post classifieds give mad deals when compared to retail (which incidentally just isn't true), but how do we know you fall into that category? I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm just saying that you haven't given us anything... and I mean anything... to make us think otherwise. again, a couple pics and/or info on the tank would help.

I agree just post a pic. I would LOVE to see what a round tank looks like. Is this a corner tank or is it really round. Please post.

And PS justinl... I teach english 12 and science 8 run on noted lol.

You dont own a camera?
????
you dont have a cell phone???? I think they all have cameras now dont they?
Get one post a pic. Although I'm sure I would be welcome to look at the tank right?
Well who wants to spend 20+ dollars in fuel to come see something they have no clue about.
Heres an idea.....bring the tank to my house and I will look at it...maybe I'll buy it...maybe I wont.
As far as adding a pic...you started the thread right? Scroll down the page....big letters(in english even) insert pic.
Pretty tough

Have a nice day
