I'm also in UK Leeds if that helps at all just wondering what to ask for it.
 
hi, maybe i would go with (in america) anywere from 100dollars to 250dollars. wear and tear greatly affects it.
 
TBH m8 ur basically looking at a 2 foot tank with filter heater and ornaments doesnt really matter wot name unless its top brand , i brought a tetra aquabart 60 tank with original made for tank stand, filter ,heater etc etc which was 2 mnths old and looked brand new for £40 so id say probably around this sort of price really :)

difficult to say but try advertising it around 60-70pounds,<then drop price if it doesnt get any replys
is it in good condition?scratches,lid condition,sylicon condition?
i know they retail around 160 pounds new but second hands more difficult to sell,
i myself always buy second hand but lots of people have fear it might have problems, when you buy new you have the garentee which people seem to have comfort in
 
Everythings been checked on it from Silicone to the Automatic light panel and all is in perfect condition.


as nelly says m8 really hard 2 price second hand tanks would do as he suggest put 60-70 and se wot happens just be prepared 2 lower it over time but good luck in selling it m8

Probs best to try Ebay ppl seem to pay silly prices on there for tanks, Ones just sold for £100 and it was smaller then mine with less included
 
Around here used equipment generally goes for about half the cheapest retail price. If it is hardly used you will get a little more, if it shows a little more wear a little less.
 
smaller tanks are easier to sell than big ones,,,,try setting it up beautifully and take some great photo's of it,,,
is it running at present?if yes then advertise the fact its a mature tank ready to go,,obviously keep it running with fish in until the day the buyer collects, then they only have to set it up and add water and continue using it, tell them not to wash out the filter straight away :good:
try to word it so it sounds like the best option to bid on,,
not sure but it seems if something starts at 99p more people bid on it, when they start at 40-50 pounds no one seems to bid, strange but myself and my sister have noticed this trend, from cars to fish tanks :good:
 
Small tanks are very easy to get hold of very cheaply. I've bought alot of small second hand tanks and the most I'd pay for that setup (with everything) would be £40-50. You might get abit more on ebay from someone who's new to the hobby, possibly £60-ish.

Personally I'd keep hold of the tank as a quarantine tank.
