As will undoubtedly happen to anyone in a dedicated hobby, you end up with good items you just don't have a use for. Instead of taking my Father's and Grandfather's approach and hoarding all of it for the day that never comes, I would like to find it a good home. I figured for convenience, I would make pricing simple. So the formula I plan to use is this. Unused or barely used items will be 50% of what I paid for them. Used items will be sold for $10 less than I would estimate a good price for the item in the condition it is in. (I said it would be simple, I didn't say it wouldn't involve some head space voodoo.)
Items for sale are as follows:
Brand new single end 150 Watt 14K bulb. Comes with industrial hood and an old holophane 150 watt ballast. This set up isn't the prettiest or the most energy efficient, but it would work very well over a smaller tank or a frag tank.
$30
Gently used (roughly 60 hours) double end 10K 250 watt bulb.
$20
Hexagon tank with stand, hood, T8 light hang on back filter, gravel etc. Currently houses one Oranda gold fish. (We'll find a home for him if you don't want him.)
$70
Reptile Tank 20 gallons with locking screen lid.
$20
Twenty pounds of dry lace rock and rubble.
Sold
Unused well cover for a fluval 303-403 with unused Insert O ring.
Free
Large bag of bioballs
Sold
I think I might have other items to offer in the future as it looks like (extremely regrettably) we will be tearing down our wonderful 75g and turning it into a freshwater angel tank. (New house policy of absolutely no sump tanks upstairs means creation of ultra amazing 200g downstairs and everything else goes to canisters.) But that's a whole nother thread...
As always, give me (Wudi) or Carly a call if you have any questions. (Due to busy schedule we probably won't be able to meet halfway unless you live in Springfield or Urbana.)
