Wow. So much is going wrong here. :WHOA:
 
I love it when people pull prices out of their asses in hopes that some poor sap will fall for it.

look at this one from a local ad here in ontario:

The only reason I am getting rid of this is due to my job which has been forcing me to be on the road much more than I anticipated and does not leave time to look after my tank properly. Will sell to good home only!

Please email me only if you are serious...price is firm being this would easily costs you double or more to set this up... plus at least 8 weeks to get the water cycled properly

Email me anytime for details or to view. The fish are all heathy..eat twice a day frozen brine shrimp and mysis, the system is running well with lots of coral, snails and cleaners to keep it healthy.

look at the first line. this guy claims he paid $1200 for a 150g Perfecto tank that retails brand new for $430 at any LFS in this province.

did he buy 3 and throw away the other two..:screwy:

What did he need three for?
 
I give craigslist five out of five stars. I just bought a AquaClear 110 powerfilter for 20 bucks today. Sure there are a lot of very high prices out there. Just ignore them and pay attention to the good things and no one would be complaining.

That would probably be the most mature thing to do; however, this thread is fun and it relies on people's overpriced items for its entertainment value! :grinno:
