Im coming along some free tanks w/ EVERYTHING. i mean like stands, filters, lights, books on books on books of fish relatedness. EVERYTHING lol

and now i need help pricing these out to sell because i have NOT one square inch of room to keep these, although I wish i did :/ I dont know the brand names or anything, and i dont really know when i going to get them because they are in VA and im in WV for school. But it wouldnt hurt to get info now :)

so im getting:

200 gallon w/ stand, lights, filter
175 gallon w/ stand, lights, filter
100 gallon w/ stand, lights, filter

and then a bunch of other misc stuff. How much do yall think i could get money wise?

Those are all non-typical sizes/gallonages. What are the dimensions?

If you want to sell your tanks quickly, price it like the typical tank one size down. I have been looking for tanks in the 120-180 gallon range.

I would say these are the typical prices for bigger tank setups:

55 - $150
75- $250
125 - $325
180 - $500-$600

Generally wider tanks sell for more on average. For example I would not have been too tempted by a 55 for $125, but was considering paying that for the 56 column posted on here.

Here is a source for tank pricing. I don't know if it is 100%, but it can give you somewhere to start.

With high end equipment(specialized lighting, UV filters, high end filters) you probably need to part out if your aim is to get top value.

I would probably list the tanks and stands(especially non-standard sizes) together, with glass tops if you have them. The 150 you might be ok separating since the stand fits a 125.

If she has a bunch of big tanks and wants them gone, then being able to both buy them all...and get them out of there yourself could go a long way to getting a good deal. Of course it will probably require some legwork on your part.

Sounds like the very least you could do if she is giving them to you. :rolleyes:

Personally, I'd give her some money if you're going to end up flipping them, but that's just me.
