Got another good one today! (I knew it was to good to be true)



250 gallon fish tank for sale $250
Filters, Stand ETC.


My thoughts.... Hmmm 250 thats an odd ball size. I sent out the email. Asked my normal questions. Dimentions ETC she replid back... Oh my bad it's only a 29 gallon. Do you still want it? :headshake2:


How do you miss judge 221 Gallons????

So did she misjudge the price and mean $25 then too? :lol:

Ha. The problem isn't just with tanks either. Just last week I saw an ad for a "pure pappalion" dog (I assume they meant papillon), and the pics clearly showed a dog with papillon ears but the size of a border collie. Yeah, that's a 5-10 pound dog!

I guess I am the lucky one I bought a tank off craigslist listed as a 50g tank for $50 turned out to be a 110 when I got there and i talked him down to $40 because it was really dirty

Why is it they never UNDER estimate their tank size?
Actually the person I bought my tank did! They thought it was a 40 and it turned out to be a 45! :)
