Funny Craigslist Beef

I don't get what's the beef. He has every right to sell it. Once you sell anything it's not your property. I can get his frustration though that someone is flipping it. I wouldn't go and make a new posting though.
I buy and sell cars and make good money. I always drive them though and use them and sell them for a lot more than I paid. I usually fix them up or just get a good deal.
I see no wrong in that that's pretty much how every business works.

Douche bag! Hate people doing that. Someone lost is another man opportunity to make a fortune. So much for hobbyists helping each other out.
sounds like bitterness! Personally i usually sell things for way cheap, only cause i have a conscience and want to actually be fair to people; but business is business, if he can sell it for $800 to someone that's happy to pay it, then its his prerogative. Original seller is probably frustrated he didn't think to sell higher
I'm sure the original seller is probably frustrated that his tank didn't go to a hobbiest when he went out of his way to make a deal. I'm in favor of supporting other hobbiests when possible, and telling others who to avoid includes that. It's why I'll probably never sell on CL, I'd rather hook someone on here up. That said, people do it on here too.
Nothing wrong with a flip. Might be helping the guy support his own fish budget, or simply pay the mortgage. The bottom line is, once the seller agrees to a price and the product changes hands, it is no longer the seller's to have an opinion on. If the buyer wanted to fill it, sell it, or set it on fire it is his to do with as he pleases.
Personally, I like to sell things for cheap or give away for free to avoid the hassle of marketing, haggling for top dollar, or entertaining tire kickers. People who sell retail, and deal with the hassle earn their profit.
Just my .02

I don't think the issue is the flip, I think the original owner is warning against misrepresentation. Ad doesn't say just bought this tank the other day off CL, says bought a brand new tank. I'm just speculating here, don't have enough info really, but I think that's the part the original owner feels is shady, because if you let something go for half its value you have noone to be upset with other than yourself (unless you were relying on the potential buyers information, which you shouldnt do anyway).
