How luck can a guy be?

I was just browsing Sell.com and found a 75 gallon tank, the whole setup. They just want me to come and pick it up so it won't go to waste. It's a five hour drive for me, but I can go to the swap meet while I'm there. Darn the luck!

Now all I have to do is convince my wife, "This is a good thing."

if its too good to be true, it probaly isn't true. or the tank is a piece of crap. i occaisonally find tanks for next to nothing.

Silly question but will you not spend more in gas than it would cost to buy a new set up?

I've given away nice tanks in a pinch. Sometimes you have to. Sure, they weren't fully loaded or anything, but were clear, watertight tight tanks. I have sold more than gifted, though.

yes, the tank is far from free at being at a distance which requires 10 hours of driving time. let us also consider how much money you could make working for
10 hours.

I'll go on the weekend. It will only cost me about $90.00 to get up there and back. And I get to go to the GCCA swap meet while I'm there. I guess it is just how you look at it. The tank is up and running. I personally think it's great.

yeah, it is all about how you decide to look at it.

I think it awsome. The wife and I can have a weekend out of town. Pick up a tank, get a good deal on some nice fish. Man, that's awsome.
