How far are you willing to travel and how much are you looking to spend?
 
It just depends on how good the deal is, I don't need one this exact second but I'd love to have and I don't want to spend the 600-1500 dollars for the ones on Craigslist. I figured id check on here to see if I could get a good deal on here
 
Come up to Chicago and get mine. $400 including the 125 sump.

(I actually want another similar sized one... but probably 96x24 instead of 96x30. And acrylic. This one is just too damn heavy.)
 
if you lucky enought to find one cheap odds are its glass, and then you have to worry about weight, they are extreamly heavy! no joking around extreamly heavy! mine i got off craigslist cost me about 600bucks with the filters and it was acrylic and was killer to move (2 guys) just keep that in mind my recommendation fork out the extra money and get an acrylic it will save your backs and cuz if you buy one and for some reason it (glass tank) drops during transportation from the truck to its new setting, your out of some money and one hell of a clean up ahead of you! best of luck with your search but seriously look till you find an acrylic! -Dan

Ive went over that in my head a million times, Just that 800 pounds really hurts because my fish room had to be upstairs because the stairs into my basement make a 90 degree turn. Trust me if I could get it in my basement I would have already been there lol. A lot of people say they have 300 gallons in the upstairs of their house but their tanks probably don't weigh 800 pounds empty. If I can talk my dad into giving me a small space in his 4 car garage I will definitely contact you

Thanks, Id love an acrylic one since it has to go upstairs it would save me on the weight. I found one in Georgia for 300 on CL but he didn't leave any contact information
