How much is a 24" jardini worth?

can you post a picture?
Here's the link to ad: https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/for/d/180-gal-acrylic-fish-tank/6758393265
The fish looks a lot nicer in person. Basically it's a beast and photo makes it look just average.
So asking price is $1800, I can chip off another hundred, sell the fish for $xxx and walk away with a clean 2 year old tank with all the trimmings.
Issue is, the acrylic is 7/16" and therefore bows slightly which leaves me feeling uneasy.
The ad page is not found. The seller must have deleted it already.
The $1800 is absurd IMHO. The tank's worth perhaps $500. $2500 buys one a brand new 500 gal 8'x2'x2' made from 3/4" acrylic. The fish can bring you $200-$400.
All acrylic tanks bow, from slightly to substantially. Usually not a problem but can lead to crazing sooner or later, especially if the acrylic sheets used to build it had not been annealed.
I saw one around that size at the fish factory for $500 so I'm going to say somewhere around there give or take a bit (depending on the availability where you are)
Yeah especially when I'm uneasy about the thickness and bowing.
I'll just have to be patient.
Hmmm either math is off or you meant 8x4x2. Either way have never seen a brand new 500 gallon for $2500. 240 gallon 8x2x2 for $2500 at 3/4” acrylic more likely
What's a 6x2x2 1/2" brand new go for? I've only seen $1800-2k.
If anyone has leads, please link then here, thanks.
Exactly. Perhaps not brand new or not from a big name mass manufacturer but it is likely doable.
Thanks. Yes. I meant 8x4 footprint. Sorry.
There are private manufacturers e.g., in Orlando, FL, who do that. My friend got 2 or 3 tanks like that.
I realize it's a stretch because not everyone has guys in their area that do that.
You can get a 240g used tank and stand for 500 if you look enough. I’ve gotten brand new 6x30x24 with stand and lids for under a grand straight from the manufacturer. Brand spanking new
