Someone is selling 5 Magnum HOT 250's, and the current bid is less than $50 for the whole she-bang.

I was looking for ONE Magnum HOT for myself, but figured I'd pass this on in case those of you who have a gazillion tanks (MsJ, I was thinking of you) were interested. :)

I saw that earlier. I just dont know what I would do with 5 of them.

[rainbowcharmer]

Me either, but I know a lot of people here have a LOT of tanks. :) I just don't happen to be one of them.

[danimal_dan]

can you put them in series ?

[rainbowcharmer]

I have no idea. I'm not the seller. Just found it on ebay and thought I'd pass it on to those crazy fish people here who could possibly use 5 more filters. :) You might send a note to the ebay seller and ask.

Well it wont be a deal for long now lol. Seems like only those that make the mistake to post them "buy-now" are the true deals. They will probubly be bid to withing 75% of there purchase & shipping price new. But I have seen these as single items bid as high a $60 used.

Great find and love to see them as I look as well. But I have given up on bidding these type auctions unless they are incorrectly posted or "buy-now". If I want one Ill just buy one one sale.

yes i have had these on my auto snipe program before it was posted here but i dont think they will be a bargain but maybe. And they look like the aqua tech clone version of the Hot Mag since the case is blue and they pump 200GPH so they arent actually HOT MAG's. And they are kinda old since Walmart sold this version and hasnt for quite a while, I own 1 of these and parts are interchangeable with Hot mags.

You can buy a brand new HOT magnum for $48 or so.

Would you be so kind as to share where you can purchase one for that price? Does that include shipping? Lowest I found was ~$55 shipped.

[Chrisk-K]

$48 not including shipping. So, $55 including shipping seems like the best deal.

[rainbowcharmer]

Ken's fish is selling them for around $58, but I believe that does not include shipping. Where are you finding them for $55 shipped??

[CWO4GUNNER]

$51.99 at Big Als with free shipping if your total is over $75 which means all you have to do is buy an extra micron filter and an extension tube (nice for deeper intake reach), or anything else you need for that matter and your over the top.

wow even if i didnt have that many tanks, i would buy it and keep two and sell the rest for 50+

[jmhart]

Not such a deal now: $193 still with an hour to go.

More than $40 for used HOTs is a rip off.

They sold for 207.00 + shipping which is not a good deal at all since they look just like the aqua tech clones walmart sold several years ago. And they arent really HOT Mag's since they pump 200GPH and hot mags are 250GPH but the parts are interchangable with hot mags.

so after shipping they average out about 45.00ea I would guess thats about what walmart sold them for when they were brand new. I have never paid more then 25.00 on ebay for a real hot mag that included shipping.

Yeah, I can't believe they sold for that much.

But I'm sure the seller is REALLY happy.

[Rbishop]

Amazing what some folks will buy since they are to lazy to find out they are not getting a real deal.

make sure the seller has good feedback!!
