We all have Craigslist stories for sure. This was one reason I chose to go with a new tank.
I knew going new would be expensive for my big tank but so I happy I did. For me this was the largest tank that would fit in the house and it would be the main show tank in the living room so it was worth the one time splurge.
Plus I just did not have the patience to wait for that perfect tank to come along. They just dont show up that often. My best Craigslist deal was a 210 gallon I picked up for $500. Brand new with all the stickers on it still with glass tops still in box and stand. I used it for quite a few years and resold it for what I paid for it. But those deals are just so rare.
