Here's someone selling two 9" Coralife minis for $25:

They obviously don't know much about what they're selling, since they don't include even the size of the fixture (and seem annoyed by all those pesky questions!) however it is obvious that this is what it is.

Big Al's is selling this fixture for $45-54:

Is this something worth reselling on eBay? I'm afraid the shipping cost would make it not worthwhile for anyone to buy it, I would probably hope to sell them for $20 a piece (excluding shipping). What do you all think?
 
Personally I'd pass.

Yeah $20 a piece might be a reasonable asking price but once you add in $10 - $15 shipping (like you already stated) it might just not be worth it for most interested buyers. After all they are buying a used item (however 'slightly used" it may be) for only about $10 cheaper. That can be a big turn off, leaving you "stuck" with the items.

On the other hand, if you could put these two lights to use yourself then it might not be a bad deal. After all you may be able to sell them but if not, worse case scenario you just got two good sets of lights @ a good price for yourself.
 
Oh, I thought about using them myself...you know how that goes ;) Unfortunately the replacement costs of bulbs is just too expensive, and the spectrums aren't suitable for FW (which is all I keep). I think I am gonna pass, but will keep tracking it just in case it goes down much further.
