Selling A 10 Gallon. What Should I Seel It For?

[nikkifro8994]

I'm selling my 10 gallon tetra tank to a friend of mine. My gourami is going to my uncle and the whole setup, tetras and all, is going to my friend. She told me to name my price. I added up how much everything cost me when I bought it and it came out to $160. We have had this tank for 5 years at least. The heater and the air pump are newer, about 2 years old. How much should I sell this tank for? Is $100 reasonable? Or should I go lower?

I'd do $75 and if she says no explain how much everything costs new.

I'd suggest a more realistic $40/50.

30-40 is the most reasonable price because you can get a new 10 gallon with everything except deco, fish and heater for 30 dollars

True, this is why most buy secondhand, new tanks are PRICEY

But maybe not as pricey as this used one!

I'd suggest more like $30. Didn't you say this was your friend?? I might sell it to a complete stranger for $50-60, but not my friend. Sorry.

I've just sold an 8 gallon for £55 used condition but only about 2 month old. I would go lower with your price...

It's worth however much someone will pay for it! Start at a high price and get them to haggle it down to what theyre happy to pay. I've sold spare tanks to friends before and I don't go cheap on them, I try to get as much as I'd charge a stranger!
