    Just to clarify things this is for everything fish that he has and I mean everything chemicals, salt, lights, pumps, skimmers, tanks, coral, fish, everything. I will try to talk to him about parting out the corals as much as i can. T-Bone has way way more stuff than i can list on here right now, theres a way bigger picture guys. 
    [/quote:d65gkgty]i realize that his price is for everything...

    you want a price for everything ?... $2500 sure isnt a realistic number and you for one should realize that   not even if he was trading all of it in on a 10k system brand new would they give him 2500.

    used tanks arent worth sqwat. period .

    $1-5 gallon maybe

    Sam's entire setup with a 240 and a frag system not just a 90 was struggling at $1000 and im sure jeff can tell you that he had a hard time swallowing it at even that price.

    my suggestion to your friend is decide if he just cant afford upkeep but would like keep the tanks/equipment stored for later and part out the livestock or if he wants out for good.

    if hes wanting the equipment to store and is willing but still dont want to deal with alot of folks visiting and cherry picking maybe one or a few us would buy the livestock and part it out

    either way he needs to be realistic with the prices .... he wants out , its not us asking for his super uber LE jason foxx /tyree /ora named corals that only he has.

    he wont get his cash back out of it unless someone else on here has deep pockets and a soft heart , as far as i know were all poor ass reefers looking for a good deal.

    Good to know Jenkins! I'll make sure I ok the price of my tank with you when I decide to sell it. :) lol
    Relax man, it's his stuff he can decide how much money he wants for it. If its too much don't buy it.

    Ultimately it comes down to what someone is willing to pay and Tbone is willing to except. Anyone who is seriously interested should make arrangements to visit Tbone since this is sight unseen only then could you make a reasonable offer; or at least that is my plan.
    Considering what I have invested in my tanks; for all I know his asking price may be everything that is being argued.
    I am just sorry that we are losing a member, as we have so many lately; especially someone who obviously has a great understanding of what it take to maintain and grow acros.

    I'm just saying not trying to be rude

    Reality sucks

    I would hope my friends would tell me I'm nuts If I over priced something And usually they do

    I price Kenya tree at $5 and the club tells me that's too high And I'm nuts

    I sell it to local store and people buy it for 20+a frag

    I just think Whitney should be honest with tbone IMHO

    You have sold frags before u know what I mean

    The flip side is sometimes it works backwards

    Goto Memphis with same crappy $5 Kenya and get $30 a frag

    Go figure

    People walk outa places like Blake and Calvin's all the time feeling its too high

    It's just geography I guess

    If he really wants 2500 I think he's gonna have to expand to Memphis /Dallas /Oklahoma etc

    I would love to see the system sell and honestly I wouldn't mind helping the club piece it out but he's gonna have to be willing to part out / work with the price etc

    I troll the surrounding boards a lot
    And watch pricing there and just am amazed at what they get for stuff
    And then watch locals sell off everything and fight to get it gone

    I'm to the point now I hate posting bst stuff and if I do I have to lower the price to get it gone

    "How about everybody in the club gets together and finds out what everybody wants or needs and if everything adds up to 2500 that would be fine." That's what T-bone says

    I dont think this is possible either.... Just too many varibles.  I would rather make an appointment to see this for myself if that is possible and then make him an offer as I see fit.
