I have a Redsea 900 3XL for sale and I am having trouble selling it. It doesn’t leak barely any visible scratches and selling for 2500. No takers. I feel like it’s a steal for this tank but is it priced too high or is there just a small market for this big of a tank?
Tank pricing!?

Most people these days won't touch a) a Red Sea tank; or b) a used tank. Those two combined is, IMO, the issue.
I wouldn't touch that tank with a 10' pole.
Will it though? Worse yet, will it have a catastrophic seam failure?

unfortunately it is true, due to multiple documented instances of serious failures with red sea tanks (and the sub-par support provided by red sea as a "high end" vendor in the hobby). As a red sea tank owner myself, I wouldn't buy another, even new. I learned of the issues after buying mine from LFS in 2023. Perhaps try lowering the price? Sorry

Unfortunately aquarium equipment doesn't have good resale value unless you get lucky and have exactly what someone is looking for. I saw someone else ask how much something was worth and a top answer was, "whatever you think it's worth, divide by 5."
I am always looking for large used glass tanks, but the only brand I'll buy is Oceanic. And only if none of the glass is chipped.
Keep hoping to find another 300g
