some people simply dont know the market value

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Complete-Marine-Set-up-sale-/260782424575?pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Fish&hash=item3cb7d801ff

.

some time i have found big tanks with big fiters and lights for 30 / 40 quids... :fun:
 
lol.. i love people like you....

just for fun take this ad and put it as yours and start it with 1p..

it won't pass £300.. ( i wont even pay £200)
 
its not the tank and lights tho. its the live rock, and all fish fish pushed by expensive equipment that makes it a lot of money.
 
Try reading the item information, then you'll realise why the seller is wanting £4K for it, the tank as a whole is worth £8K, not to mention the man hours that have gone into setting it up and maintaining it, marine set ups on this scale aren't cheap!

only expansive equipment i see is chiller.. thats the reason i sayed it may worth under 300 quids.

animals and live rock... its not much stuff there aint it?
 
Ha no too high 1k would be too much for this size tank

It wouldn't be 5 k if you bought it all separate or new for that matter it just doesn't add up right
 
You obviously don't realise the cost of marine. As others have said Live rock + corals + stock make this worth what he's asking. Tanks are worth very little but marine gear as long as it's a decent make really holds it's value.

here is a similar story.. years ago i bought a toyota supra for 13 grand. spend 8/9 grand modding on it..
4 years later i sold it for 6 grands.. because that's is the market value..
 
me 125l has costed about nearly £200 already, and i still need 8kg LR. fish. skimmer. corals. salt.
all adds up and that is a huge tank
 
That's because of depreciation, different brands of cars depreciate at different amounts, the same can be applied to fish keeping; tanks etc depreciate a lot, where as specialist equipment such as calcium reactors etc hold their value, as does marine live stock, some of which listed is not easily acquired, have you ever kept a marine set up? Do you have any idea of the costs incurred when setting up let alone maintaining a set up?
