Title: Craziest C/l Add Yet
Post by: RichE on January 31, 2013, 08:26:11 PM
I talked to him and he said tanks go for $10 a gallon and he also said the stand is worth $700 just by its self. I politely explained that in the shape the tank is in he might get $150 at most and he said make a offer, so I offered him $100 and he laughed and said the lowest he will go is $1200 Honest to god.

If he is including all the garbage under it and the hot water heater in the picture it might be a good deal.

He was dead serious,he said the stand is oak and worth $700 as it is. I tried explain to the guy that he is going to get calls all day and night telling him he way off on his price and he told me that has it priced fairly :o

Yeah he's is serious I asked if he by accident put a extra  zero on his price and offered $140. Rude response.  Oh well its his nite. To spend getting the same offers. Would be a smart man to add a email to the post but that is clearly not the case. Thanks again for the heads up about the MCA

I think the hot water heater has a gas leak regal. No herb is that good but hey he will trade for a race motor. I have a couple laying around for m R/C cars. Should have offered that up

Wow, for that much you could get a darn nice brand new setup, that doesn't need *sanding*. Maybe that can be the new excuse, yeah it just needs a bit of sanding, but it is worth $2000.

I saw that in the ad too and LOL'ed. I've got a windowed shortblock I'd gladly trade, but man that tank looks rough!

I could only guess none of us would be able to afford his herb he's selling the tank to get a gram

Street value a pound goes for 1200 to 3000. Maybe he has glaucoma

Do many of you call someone to tell them their price is outrageous? I see these all the time and just ignore it and move on or call/email them and make an offer. There's no point in arguing with someone (who "obviously" knows the value of their item) that their asking price is out of line IMO. Just wondering...

Why take the time? I see what I believe to be ridiculous pricing on there often. If it's something I want, I'll make a case for why the price is out of line and include an offer. Otherwise, I really can't say that I can if someone sits on their item forever because they have no realistic idea what to price it at in order to sell it.  ;)

I had a friend that used to put his trucks, motors, exles, etc. all up on Craigslist.  Used to do it ALL the time.

His wife always told him he had to much stuff and he needed to sell it, etc.

So... he made ads for all of it... showed his wide the adds, etc.  Hmmm... but none ever sold.  "Must be the bad economy"

And if something did sell at his ridiculous prices... he would be more than happy to sell it.




Maybe this guy is doing the same thing.

Yeah they were very nice looking. I personaly have  never seen a black flowerhorn till. Now.   If you are looking for a flowerhorn bruces pond shop / tropical treasures has what is going to be a top notch. Red warrior. Cheep to. He could easily get double his asking price.  Its showing KOK. Almost a double line & tear drops. If I remember rite was 30 bucks I could be wrong. Was cheep tho. If it wouldn't get crushed in my monster tank I would pick it up worth checking out.
