need advise on possible Craigslist purchase

[cachacase1]

There a set up listed on Craigslist for 200.
It has a 55gal,sump tank,power head,lights,csbinet,heater,and fluval 305 canister. The equipment is all so 3-4 years old.

Do you guys think it's worth it?

Sounds like a good deal! Ask to see some pictures, does the person selling it seem legit?

tell him to fill tank with water then look at it filled check all seams, I had bad luck with used tanks but you might not.

I wouldn't pay $200 for a used 55 set-up

It depends on where u live. Over here everything is 3x more expensive than the USA, 200 is a good deal for a 55 in Australia where I live

Yes, I agree. I live in the same area as the OP and I scan CL all the time for good deals

Seems a little high to me

Seems steep but that's cheaper than retail. Where I live Craigslist finds go for more than they cost new.

If its on par or cheaper than similar things in your market, it's a great deal.

People are always looking for a sucker and/or they figured there's going to be haggling, so they set a way high price when they're actually willing to sell it for half the asking price.

I've seen the pics but can't seem to post it here. I was going to meet and see what the conditions are.
