75 tank / glass tops / 4 48" single strips / wet/dry filter / protein skimmer / chiller / stand corals / fish = $80.00
70 tank / stand / glass tops / 48" single strip = $100.00
55 tank 1/2 full of bio balls / 2 mag 950s = $50.00
90 tank / glass tops / 48" double strip (all brand new still in box's stickers still on tank) = $200.00

Those are the ones I can think of, but I'm sure there are more, just not recent. All of these I have picked up in the last year or so.

I was checking out a local aquarium site when I noticed an interesting post: "Free 300 gallon aquarium, must be displayed in a public school". The tank had been used in a project that was completed, the grant didn't allow them to sell it.
A few e-mails later and I was driving to the Veterinary School at the university to pick up my new monster. They had a pallet jack and a hydraulic loading dock, so they just plopped the whole thing - tank, stand, etc. - in the back of my truck. I strapped it down and was off, couldn't have been easier. Unloading wasn't so simple...
The tank came with a couple heaters, homemade undergravel plates, an Eheim 2017, and strip lights. It now houses "Snappy" the Common Snapping Turtle.
The best deal I ever got buying a tank would probably be a 75 gallon with a top, a stand, a couple power heads, heater, and a foot-long Sailfin Pleco for $100.00.
