Hard to tell from the pictures. I guess good deal depends on what you want to get out of the tank but it looks really scratched up to me.

Yeah, I wouldn't pay $200 for that...maybe $100, at the most and only if I just had to have it...which I don't.

The only solutions I've heard of involve sanding down the surface to remove a layer of the acrylic...which can't be good for something that holds 75 gallons of water.

i'd offer $150, but only to use as a utility tank (breeding, grow out, etc.) not as a display tank. while getting rid of the scratches will not affect the strength of the tank, it's a lot of work. sanding, sanding, sanding, buffing, more sanding.
