I sometimes laugh when I read some craigslist ads, and the prices people ask for equipment. It also humors me when they try to explain why something is so valuable, or how they're doing a good deed by selling it for less than face value.
We used to have a Craigslist "deals" thread, but figured I'd start something new, and see where the conversation goes.
Were these people seriously take advantage of when they bought the setup? Or are they hoping some naive person will believe their story without knowing anything about tank pricing and buy the setup?
I don't think I've seen any 10g kit for anything close to $100, they recently had kits on a black friday deal for under $50, but these people insist they paid $120 just for the tank! Its possible they paid that for everything, but even the decor is nothing fancy; purple/black/white gravel, resin fake driftwood piece, and a few plastic plants. Fish shown are a platy and raphael cat.

This is a steal of a deal! We are selling our 10 gallon fresh water tank with decoration, supplies and fish included for just $150 (kitty not included) !!! The tank is under a year old and we paid $120 just for the tank. Everything is in perfect working condition.
Included is food, heater, vacuum, chemicals, decorations, pump, filters, fish
We know we will be losing money on this deal, but we must sell ASAP!
