interesting posts from craigslist

I'm still following the postings about fishtank after I got it a few days ago, and surprisingly there is one person complaining that the prices sellers asked for were too expensive:

Prices on craigslist for fish tanks

It amazes me the prices people ask for their old stuff on here. It would seem all the tanks and equipment are as close to new price it would pay to just go buy new. Get your heads out of the clouds come down to earth and get real.

And there were two replies beating the previous poster already. Here's one of them:

Need a 29 gallon stand? how about free? This looks about the right-size

Petco also lists 29 gallon stands for about $40.

Fish stuff is expensive. Figure $10-$20 per GALLON for a new acrylic tank, with nice stand, hood, lights, filters, etc. My 125 gallon has $70 worth of GRAVEL alone, about $1,600 for everything. Fish are not included in that price.

This tank is listed for less than half of new:

Don't be cheap! Plenty of bargains on Craigslist.

I think the prices were really good on cragslist. Mine is like a steal if you compare to new stuffs. Again, the fish they include cost $100 alone... if I get it from petco etc.
