He wants a little much for the lights imo, but eveything else looks fine.
The 64s do retail for 759 though...

Take the tank, stand and rock for $100, but tell him you need it now, before you leave. Then stand there with a stupid look on your face….

How old is the tank?

Tank was professionally resealed 2.5 years ago. Whether the professional is legit or not is in the air.

Haha well, the fact that it has the big freaking brace across the top actually makes me feel pretty good about the tank, given that it was sealed 2.5 years ago and based on the waterline in the pics you sent it SEEMS like it's level.

I don't hate this deal at all. What's the situation with the tank as it's set up? Does it look more or less healthy? Are you inheriting any major pest issues?

I would buy it each piece separately and save a few dollars that way>

Or offer to buy the lights if he gives you everything else.

And I might go for the 1K if he throws in the stuffed kitty, but I think you can get it all for 6 hundred and both of you should be happy. Let him sell the fish and keep the money if you don't want to keep them?

Make a deal. Get what you want and get that tank out of the guys life.

The tank has serious hair algae that he hasn’t been able to get rid of in a year and Dinos. I’m not worried about it though as it will be a secondary tank that won’t be seen by public much.

I was gonna offer $400 and a handgun I don’t care for. I also want a few of the fish but have already found buyers for the ones I don’t.

PM me and I can explain how you can get it all delivered seeing you have a handgun.
