price for fish tanks

Dude I wouldn't pay 1 dollar per gallon in this market for a used tank. Seriously everyone is moving and breaking down tanks the market is over saturated. Only time I would make exceptions is if it comes with tons of extras, like overflows and glass tops. I juts bought more than 1100 gallons worth of aquariums in the last year for about 900 dollars with glass tops and lights and stuff. I'm talking 75 gallons, 100 gallon breeders, 125s with overflows. Just watch the FS posts on this sight and other local fish sites, craigs list, ebay. You'll find more than you want real quick.
i thought the dollar per gallon sale at petco maxes out at 40 gallon breeder tanks?
i want to point out that most of us are telling you the prices we can get in our areas but they vary from city to city. i compare what i can find here with friends on mfk in different areas and our prices are rarely the same
Dollar per gallon is a great starting price for smaller tanks if i were posting a want ad but i'd be paying attention to what they're actually selling for so i don't miss out on a good deal because i was being too cheap

I know that Jack's Aquariums and Pets has a bunch of stores in Ohio, and they run a "Dollar per Gallon" sale on at least a once a year basis plus they also sometimes have aquariums discounted at other times.
I got a 55 gallon for $65 from them when I was living in Ohio earlier this year; they also had a 75 gallon for $90, so it's worth looking into.

By me they go up to the 55's, but I have never seen a petco carry anything bigger in stock. You can custom order larger, but not at the $1 a gallon price
Buying used, when you add in the stand, $1 per gallon will not apply. Also, when they add in decorations, filters, heaters, top lights, lids, etc, with a fish tank, $1 per gallon will not apply.
Just my opinion, there are a lot of things to look at when buying a used tank.
