    JBJ Arctica 1/3 HP chiller - $450

    asm g-2 skimmer - $ 140

    Aquatic Life Systems BSM 300 sump -$150

    Are these good prices to sell used or to high? If to high what would you pay for them? No low balls I'm trying to get a good buying figure here.

    Too high IMHO. Generally speaking a good starting point for used equipment is 1/3 the original selling price. But it really depends on age/condition of the stuff.

    Used equipment runs about 50% off of new provided it is in great shape. Anything under that is a total bargain for top notch stuff.

    That said, a local guy is selling a G3 for $125, or another local guy that isa 3reefer is selling an octo extreme 200 as well.
