I know generally, rule of thumb is .75 to 1$ per gallon for used tanks, I found a 125, with everything plus a ten and twenty long, ( with some acs,) for 350$ what do you think?..is it worth it?.. its in great shape, but I am undecided help sway me one way or the other here folks...

It sounds good to me, but I don't know what tank prices are up your way. I paid 300$ for my bare 75 brand new.

Depends on the condition of the tanks, and amount of accessories and their condition.
I bought some stuff from a guy who was moving and was in the hobby for 15+ years. Spent $350 on a 90g glass (almost a cube with stand and lights), an acrylic 20g, a wet dry with overflows and built in skimmer, 2 ehiem classics (2217 i think), a few HOBs, about 4-5 power heads, and about 60lbs dead LR (now in a friends tanks to reseed), about 4 old large air pumps, and all kinds of airstones, nets plumbing, and misc. parts. All in all, besides the tanks and rocks, there was about 5 big boxes of stuff. I also bought a 90g acrylic tank from the guy for $75 previously when he started cleaning out his basement.

well, its a complete fresh water set up, lights ect. Its just got some large generic HOBs, two to be exact. Its got stand, hood, air stones, gravel, some other meaningless stuff, plus the other two tanks as well. I have enough of everything( including backgrounds, lol) to set it up.
The tank itself is in great shape, no scratches, chips, ect.
I have a fluval 404 that i am thinking I could run it with, but bear in mind, I will be just buying and storing it for now. I have the 110 running, and have no intentions of doing anything other than that one for awhile, but A 125 would be an awesome show tank for me when i get done re carpeting. I hate my 110, and was considering selling it, so it would easily be replaced by this:) I dunno, I kinda want it, and I looked a 125 bare from the pet store, its gonna run me 600$ so I think, I might do it:)

I paid $350.00 for my 125 gal and it was just the bare tank with canopy and 2-36" lights.It was new but you just can't find deals like that around here.Plus you are getting the stand and 2 other smaller tanks.I would go for it.
