worth it or not?

what do you all think would it be worth gettin to see if it could be fixed? http://toledo.craigslist.org/pet/489399191.html

$100 is a good deal, but you may want to try to contact the seller to find out the extent of the damage. "Leaks" is a very broad term and you probably want to be sure about how bad it is before putting any money out.

I would ask for a picture.. hey a leak could be a crack across the whole entire thing you never know. I would still buy it though... for reptiles/amphibians but thats just me lol

I would get pictures and take those pictures to a plastics shop, and see if they could re-weld the seam, or atke it apart and make the repair, I don't think I would attempt to make that repair on a tank that big, especially being acrylic, you could silicone Glass.

Do you have any local plastic fab shops around?

if you can get it repaired by a professional, as mentioned by Zigman, its definitely worth it.

well, to read that "it leaks badly" is a big enough turn off for me. I wouldn't want to deal with the headache, especially with knowing that it's come apart at the seams. I just don't feel I need to pay for something that is a headache in the first place.... but that's me.

I would see how much it would be to unseal and reseal a tank that size before thinking about it any further.

400g...I wouldn't take that risk even if it was fixable chances are it will never be as strong as it was new.
