I met a person online and he was selling a bunch of fish equipment for quick cash. I went and picked up some equipment. I spend $200 on a few things and they are 65G tank, 10G sum, water pump, 18w UV sterilizer and Rena xp3 filter.

As I drove home, I begin to have doubt of my purchase. Did I just got rip off? Did I made a bad purchase? All of these doubt makes me depress. Finally I said to myself "What the heck, its only $200, I will just sell something (the fish equipment that I just brought) to make up the loss"

So I put up a local ads "18 watt uv sterilizer" $40!

After waited a few hours, I got a response from a potiential buyer and he asked me to check the model of the uv sterilizer!

AND then it happen!

I checked the model and go online search!!! I WAS SHOCKED!!!! :WHOA:

Coralife Pondlife Turbo Twist 6x 18 watt UV clarifier ~ Big Als ~ $219.99 + tax

:WHOA:

Now Id feel EXTREMELY HAPPY!! :D no more DEPRESSION! :D

Honestly, if the guy didnt ask me to check for him, Id probably sell it for $40
 
if its a year old or more, the bulbs need replacing. price check the bulbs for it and see if you are still so happy....

I was told that it was used for 3 months and the bulb only cost $50 :D

so if I sell it for $100.. they get a new bulb for $50, its still save money :D
