Is this a 150 gallon?

[WOLF2013]

So I am in the market for a 6' aquarium. Someone is offering me this tank with everything for $125.
He says it's a 150 gallon. He said he is a fish store that went out of business and is going to ship the tank to me somehow and that it will be wrapped well. I am skeptical but it is a great deal and I don't want to miss out on it. Do you think this is a 150 gallon and would you go through with the deal and get it?

It appears to be glass and the older version. I would not take the deal unless you can pick up so you can inspect it. Also of you do go thru with it insure it holds water first!

Ask him what the tank dimensions are, that'll give you your answer. If it does turn out to be a 150g, and with all the gear with it, then yes i'd say it's a pretty good deal.

The problem you have is that although it obviously holds water now, by the time it lands on your doorstep will it still hold water!!

If it's not that far away i'd be inclined to collect it.

Seems fishy (no pun intended) to me, good luck with whatever you decide . How far away is the seller from you

How
Much is the shipping cost?
A 150 gallon tanks would not be cheap to ship
Seems fishy bud

The seller said they are in Jacksonville. I am in West Palm Beach. I really don't know what to do. I'm on a tight budget and need a bigger tank. I am debating waiting until Black Friday but we'll see.
I asked if he would accept paypal he said no.

The majority is saying something isn't right. If you preferred to use PayPal for your protective interest and the seller said no I personally would move on.

Personally I would pass...sometimes if it seems too good to be true it usually is.

also how much is shipping? Might be worth your time and troubles to wait for a local deal

I'll throw my $0.01 in.
All of this sounds extremely off and I wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole. If you're in desperate need for a bigger tank for cheap then I'd be looking into stock tanks. Not pretty but you have more space.
