    After searching for months for a bigger tank I finally found a 220gal with stand and 75 gal sump for 450.00. I pick it up Sunday,now all I need is some more man power . The guy selling it is going through a divorce and is having to move into a smaller place and doesn't have the room.I feel sorry for the guy but if I don't get it someone else will.........right? (This is where you help ease my guilt ;))

    his problems whilst understandably going to over cast what should be joy on your part they are not of your causing, so you have no reason to feel guilty

    its a good score so enjoy it

    Feel no guilt!!! His problems are not your own. Besides if he really wanted one he could get a smaller tank with the money he sold his larger one for.

    I believe the phrase "My Loss, Your Gain!" was coined on eBay.

    You're doing the guy a favor. After all, he'd just have to set the thing out with the trash when he moved. :)

    Thanks guys I feel better now but when I pick it up I'll just act guilty for his sake and suggest buying a smaller tank....and to go to 3reek.com!

    don't feal guilty at all. If I lived out there I would defenetly of snatched that up. I may of even offered the guy an extra $50 to take it from you. hahaha If he wanted more for the tank then he should of asked for it.Or charged his ex wife the difference/depreciation. lol
