Ya, it's a shame sometimes because everyone of us will drop a ton online or at the local LFS, but as soon as it's posted here we all want the huge deal.
Not that it's always a bad thing but I feel bad for the people that have to sell everything and just want to recoup some of their investment.

Hate to say this but unless its real estate and a few other options, you lose at whatever you buy+sell. You dont feel sorry for the people that buy a brand new car and sell it a few years later for thousands less. I am sorry someone has to go through a divorce but from someone who has been there/done that, well thats what happens....as for fish/aquarium things, again other than a few exceptions its done for the love of doing it, not for making money..unless we are all turning into LFS's...

Good luck with your sale and I hope all works out for you in the long run...
Its a battle at times but it does get better...

this hobby is not an investment, it is an expenditure.
I feel bad for the people who think their equipment is still worth as much 2 years later as it was when they bought it shiny and new.
there should be an aquarium equipment blue book....

I agree that this is a hobby not anything to make money on. but how would you feel if you bought a brand new car this year and someone offered you 30% or less of what you paid for it 1 year later. you would be insulted wouldnt you? thats what I see happening alot around here everyone wants a bargain at someone else's expense. I'm not trying to stir up anything or name anyone in particular I am just putting in my two cents
