So im thinking about getting an FX5 and seems that ebay has the best prices. I know alot of people have gotten their FX5 from there and wondering if anyone had any bad experiences? Any seller I should stay away from? Or any seller you had a smooth easy transaction with and would recommend? Thanks in advance.
FX5 on ebay

no seriously bad experiences.. i got a used one with sand in the impeller for $137 plus shipping.. i was going to return it but i ended up cleaning it up and it works fine.
one of the vendors "pettreatguy" sold me a new one that was cracked (probably not his fault) but instead of helping me get the case replaced under warranty he put up roadblocks and was less than helpful. i got the new case directly from Hagen for free. i just gave them a copy of my receipt from my purchase and they sent me the new case in the mail in less than a week.

I ordered one on saturday night from Amazon. If you sign up for prime the shipping only takes two days and its free.
i should also say that i've bought several FX5's on ebay, most i ever paid is $217 including shipping brand new. i do buy the used ones when i can get them for $150 or less.
You could also look on craigslist i've seen people list 2 of them for 300 dollars as well as a lot others for 100 dollars an a couple less than that just make sure you look over it carefully.

Thanks but that wont work. Our CL here for anything fish related is horrible. I have seen FX5s before but they was selling it with the tank and would not sell it seperately. And of course they reminded me that they paid $400 for the filter
