How Long To Sell A Tank?

[Farrant91]

Hi. I'm on the lookout for a new (used) tank. Trawling through the classifieds doesn't exactly fill me with excitement with what's near me. Just wondered how long it takes before the tanks sell. So is it worth looking back say 2 or 3 weeks, or will they have all sold by then?

Cheers, James.

It matters how good of a deal it is. If it comes with all accessories and no fish and doesn't cost to much, snatch it before it is gone. If it is just a tank it will take longer, and do not forget to ask them if the tank has any leaks.

...and do not forget to ask them if the tank has any leaks.

Learned my lesson the hard way; bought 2 tanks in the past couple of weeks BOTH leaked; FUMING!!

I bought my 10 gallon tank new and bought all the accessories new. It ended up costing me about 170 dollars but everything worked great. So sorry about you getting cheated.

20 gallon with marineland filter, media, heater, thermometer, lighting, hood, gravel, tank itself, and decorations all for 20 US dollars.

Hunt around, people are desperate sometimes!

I'm sure this is obvious but you've tried Ebay right? I've got a few bargains from there recently.
