I guess I could be called a hoarder when it comes to my fish stuff.I usually keep everything in case I needed it again. I have someone interested in buying my old system, but I think the offer is kinda low. Includes the following:
40g breeder, pine stand and hood
29g homemade sump
Eshopps pf300
Deep Blue 1050
Current USA Orbit Marine LED Saltwater Reef Lighting System (brand new in sept)
What you pay?

the pump and the light really make the price also depending on the stand hood and how it looks. If I was trying to buy it, since I cant see it, as you list it I would offer about 200-300$ and be ready to flex a bit once I could inspect everything. not knowing the condition of anything like water damage/scratches to the stand, how old the pump is, how well protected everything was from splash damage like the lights, salt creep evidence in the seams etc. tanks are cheap 1$ per gallon used if they are mint, until you get into the larger tanks. used pumps are always questionable, 6 month old lighting sounds good but being used theres no way for some one to know if its been dropped into the tank then dried out etc. it's probably worth more but only seeing minimal description in type I would low ball too. now if they have seen it and know the condition of everything it could easily be worth far more.

Unfortunately since the light is an orbit marine (not what if consider a reef light) your main selling point is that it's a ready to set up system. That being said pricing everything in my head really quick I really don't think it's worth more then 200$
Here's how I'd price everything
40g breeder(used)- 20$
Stand and canopy (used)-100$
Orbit marine led (used)-50$
Deep blue pump 1050 (used)- 20$
Pf300 overflow (used)-15$
You don't get top dollar for a tank that's taken down and just pieces. If this was a fully stocked reef with fish and coral we'd be talking a whole different story.

None taken I mean it's a good price for both party's. I mean it's not like you sold it for 500$... when I did my price list I forgot to add your sump so with that added on I mean your right in the fair price for both parties range. Not to mention how much time and hassle they're saving by not having to shop online and pay shipping. Having a system that's already been setup and all parts work good in combination with each other, is really nice especially for someone new. Sent from my SM-N910R4 using proboards |

Sorry. I guess I misunderstood. Not exactly what I wanted to get for it, but at least its not staring me in the face saying, "set me up, set me up." She'd shoot me!
