No, even if it's acrylic. You'd be lucky if you can sell it for $60 later. I learned this the hard way and hopefully you don't. If it has a stand, maybe $110 or best offer.

i think that's on the HIGH side . . . a 40 gallon should not be going for anymore than $50. It's all relative to your location, i guess . . .

well, a NEW 40, might cost you more than $50. That $110 figure is probably correct. I'd go seek out a used one on ebay or craigs list.
