So in this mornings paper in the classifieds. Some guy was selling a 75gallon Bow front tank. With stand/canopy, Skimmer,Pump,filter, about 60lbs of LR, and a 48"in light set all which is under a year old. (All together im guessing thats about $700+ if not more) for a WHOPPING $200! I did not get my paper untill about noon. Thinking I mght of been early and got the jump on this deal I called the guy. I asked about it and he said it sold about 7:30 in the morning. (Thats only three and a half hours after the paper is publicly released at Four in the morning!) He said he was amazed how fast it sold and since this morning he has recieved about 100 phone calls (exaggertion maybe?) I then told him that you sold off a great deal of product well below it's true price. Still, I was somewhat dissapointed that I could not jump on that faster and that I'm not the only one that jumped on this crazy deal.

Deals are out there quite often- keep your eye on craigslist.com In my area (NJ and NY city) it seems people are frequently pricing stuff to move fast. Currently there are 2 different 55 gal. setups including everything for $200.

I thought it was, the early bird gets the worm and the early worm gets eaten.

Anyway, thumbs up for craigslist here too as we just sold one of our cars yesterday (after putting an ad up less than 24 hours beforehand) than for higher what Carmax offered us a few weeks ago!

You'll eventually find that great deal, and probably when you least expect it!
