Met up with a guy yesterday that I found on C-list. Got a brand new Rena xP4 for $70. Today same guy DELIVERED four 250mL bottles of Prime, 8.8ozHikari Cichlid Bio-Gold, 8.8oz Hikari Algae Wafers, 200watt Fluval M200 submersible heater, 200watt Marineland Stealth Pro Heater (submersible & shatter proof), 300g Seachem Malawi/Victoria Buffer, and 350g Seachem Cichlid Lake Salt ALL for $40. He's getting me a NIB FX5 for $50 (with media) when he gets them in. He usually sells the FX5s for $100, but, since he was out of them when I contacted him & I went ahead and bought the xP4 instead, he's selling me one for what he pays and throwing in media for free. Guy lives just a couple miles from me. I may never go to the LFS again. (I admit, originally I thought it was a scam or that he would try to jack me, but the guy is trying to get a store opened in the next year or two and it helps him with his supplier to move a lot of merch and build a client base up. He's more interested in developing some customer loyalty and maintaining a great relationship with his supply guy. I am lovin it.)

I'll pay you $150 for a new fx5.

You might have to go into business from this post. You could do the guy's internet orders.

Honestly I am having a real hard time believing that you got all that for $40, that is insane. But good score, now can I have the persons contact information to see what he has to sell, because if those are the prices he is charging I can buy and resell and make good profit margins as I can not even buy for that low from the supplier.
