Funny Craigslist "Deals"

As much as I'd LOVE to get a rare, one-eyed "red fire oscar", alas... I had to pass. That price is such a bargain, I figure it best left to someone much wiser than me to take advantage!

Looks like a deal, but it is not :(

The worst part is the title lists the price as $50. And nothing in the posting is $50

Avoid scams and fraud by dealing locally!
Beware any deal involving Western Union, Moneygram, wire transfer, cashier check, money order, shipping, escrow, or any promise of transaction protection/certification/guarantee. More info

Hi, up for sale my 40 Gallon Breeder tank that comes with everything including the fish. I will also throw in a 10 Gallon Tank Set up. You will be getting everything you need to maintain and keep the tanks running for quite awhile. The tanks are in impeccable condition.

What's Included:
40 Gallon Breeder Tank with Glass Top and Two Hoods with Lights ( L 36 3/16" x W 18 1/4" x H 16 15/16")
Black Wooden Stand with plenty of storage space
Aqua Clear 50 and Aqua Clear 70 Filters
Heater, 2 Air Pumps with Tubing, Thermometer
Mag-Float Magnet Cleaner 4"
Gravel, Live Driftwood, Lots of Decors
Fish Food (Flakes, Pellets, Bloodworms)
Dechlor and Medication

FISH INCLUDED THAT ARE CURRENTLY LIVING IN THIS TANK. They all have been in this tank since they were babies. They are eating and growing exceptionally well:
4 Veil Angels 2.5-3" wide, about 6-7" top to bottom (1 Gold Veil, 2 Blue Veil, 1 Calico Koi Veil)
2 Clown Loaches (3" each)
2 Bala Sharks (6" each)
1 Albino Polypterus (5")

You will also get a 10 Gallon set up- tank, hood, light, heater, filter and some fish.
Also included will be a variety of fish related items including but not limited to- 2.5 gl fish tank, more decors, more heaters/filters etc

I'm asking $350 for everything. If you want the fish only you must buy them ALL- for the price of $67 (will not sell single fish). I will not sell the tank without the fish unless someone else buys the fish already, if that happens I will update this ad. Bc I wont have anywhere to put the fish.

Please contact Kevin via email or phone at 443 758 8540 with any questions. Thanks for your time

How about this one? A lot of stuff is included, so it's not the worst deal in the world (just a bad one). I just like the way the ad is written and how he offers to help you setup below in red. LOL.

120g Megaflow Aquarium-Classic Mission Stand/Canopy-set up for plants - $1400 (Vienna, VA)

Reply to: sale-fhpf6-2740369812@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]
This is a 120g AGA Megaflow aquarium with the Classic Mission Style 24" x 48" stand and canopy. The tank and stand are just over one year old and are in like-new condition. The tank, stand and canopy alone retail for around $1900 (the tank at about $750, stand at about $725 , and canopy at about $450). To buy everything in this setup at the store would cost you over $3000. I'm offering it to you in outstanding condition for less than half that price. In addition to the tank and stand, this package includes

1 - 48", 8-bulb, T-5 light that is mounted in the canopy for all the light you will ever need (retails around $150)
1- MAG 9.5 pond pump (retails for around $90)
1 - Aquariumplants.com fully electronic CO2 regulator (retails at $230)
1 - MA957 CO2 regulator (retails around $90)
1 - SMS922 pH controller and calibrating fluid (retails around $110)
1 - 5lb CO2 tank (retails around $60)
1 - 10lb CO2 tank (retails around $85)
2 - glass lids - I had these custom cut for about $60
1 - surge protector with built in timer having 2 night, 2 day and 4 full-time outlets (retails about $20)
1 - 50' python water-changing syphon (retails at $60)
1 - CO2 reactor -- I built this following the instructions from Rex Grigg
1 - Sump system -- I built this as well

Includes all the plants and fish (4 koi angels, 2 piper sharks, 3 black skirt tetras, 1 Siamese algae eater, 1 gold algae eater, 2 yo yo loaches and a handful of algae-eating snails.

I also have a large amount of miscellaneous stuff including heaters, thermometers plant fertilizers, automatic feeder, algae scrubbers, the rocks and gravel that are in the tank, about 25-30 pounds of extra gravel ... I'm getting out of the fishkeeping hobby for now, so basically anything I have I will drag out and you can take what you want.

I would love to sell it this weekend - December 10. You will need several people to help you load it. I would consider moving it and setting it up for you for about $50/hour starting at the time we load it into your vehicle. I estimate it would take me 4 - 5 hours to get it done.

Pictures below ... One note: the rocks in the pictures ARE NOT INCLUDED! The driftwood is negotiable.

I'm not a great photographer ... you can search the web and find stock pictures of the tank, stand and canopy on Aqueon's website ... just search for "Megaflow" and "Classic Mission Series"

Another gem. No stand. The included literature does seem appropriate though.

I am not sure which is better the price(insane for a used set-up) or his policy about the clownfish.

Hi I have a month old 29 gallon HQI biocube saltwater tank. It's completely set up but it's just to much for me. I still have the original receipt. It comes with a stand, 20 pounds of live rock, 30 pounds of sand, brand new pump, brand new protein skimmer and all other accessories. I'm trying to get 600 for the total package. Call or text me 240-454-1179

I will even give you the clown fish that is in it not.
