Ok so you NEED this tank that is being sold but you want to try to get the best deal.
Step one. Get a friend to lowball him. If he accepts then you'll get the tank. If he doesn't then he probably won't talk to your friend again because people hate low ballers. That's why you get a friend to lowball instead of you.
Step two. You offer to pay the listed price. If he says he has other offers its possible you might not get it so we move onto step three.
Step three. Friend two offers to pay more then listed price. He will most likely accept because it's more money.
You get the tank, he gets money, everybody wins.

I got my 6ft 125gal TruVu acrylic tank for $200, tank, homemade stand, two 3ft LED lights, and a 4ft marine light.
My second 6ft tank I got for $400. It's a brand new glass tank that has never been used, homemade Oak coated 2x4 stand, two 3ft T8 lights and glass lids.

I scored my 180 gallon acrylic tank and stand for $200. The stand isn't the best quality, but the tank doesn't have many scratches, and the wear it has is only at the corners. Best deal I have ever gotten on an aquarium.
I don't know how I can make it any more simple....
The main goal of it is to get the tank.
You use friend one to see how he responds to a low ball offer to see if you can save money.
If he rejects the low ball offer then he will most likely ignore friend one because he tried to low ball him.
That's why YOU come in and offer the price he wants. If you're the only one interested in the tank then he should accept and it ends here.
If he has multiple offers then that means there is a chance that you may not end up with the tank that you NEED. That's why you recruit friend 2 to offer above asking price. This should make him sell it to you.
That's how you get the tank in most cases.
I just realized that I made it unnecessarily complicated by bringing in friend 2 when you yourself could havery just as easily done the work of what friend two would have done. Sorry about that.
