i_am_poor Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Real talk: you're not getting 10k or 9k or 8k or even 5k. Maybe someone will bite at 2k. Your best bet is to part out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juiceman Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I can almost guarantee you no ones going to give you $10,000 for a 90 g system. Id, either seriously lower your price or start parting it out. I don't even think my system could sell for $10,000 and I have waaay more invested. Just a thought.....

Juiceman Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 That's the only thing that sucks about our hobby is resale value of equipment and livestock. It's like buying a car..... As soon as you leave the lot it loses value. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 That why I only buy used cars. I'll let someone else eat the largest part of the depreciation for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 It's also a fact that when you sell the system as a whole package, you get even less. Most hardware seems to get about 50% of retail once it's used (except certain items like Apex controllers, LED's). But if you keep it all in a whole system package, you probably get about half of that! So you're talking maybe 25% of the original cost at best. Think about how many people are sitting around with that kind of cash just waiting to drop it on a used system? When we sold our 125 back in the day, we had about $15K in it, and I think we maybe got $2K after selling everything, and we parted it out! I bet you I couldn't even get $5k if I sold my 240 today as a whole system even though I have documented every last cent of hardware and it's well past $25k now with top of the line everything! Unfortunately this hobby is just like every other hobby - It's a money pit. And nobody will pay remotely close to retail for used equipment.

Reburn Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Well fact of the matter is the numbers seem a little off too. I would love to see these receipts totaling to 18k. I just can't see it. Tank new is max $2000 with stand. And there I'm being very generous. Sump is $350 Light is 500 Mp10 is 600 for the two. Apex at full retail is 900 if it's gold with all the bells Skimmer lets just say 300 Let's assume a sicce return pump HF10 (which is enough flow to blow the water out of the tank) 300 For a grand total retail new of $4950 I cant see $13,000 worth of fish, coral, rock and misc items. Realistically maybe $1400 if he can find a buyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M6S1K3 Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Reburn. You struggle to see what's not right in front of you or in this case typed out. The light has controller and mounting kit and was $700. Without getting into every item there is way way more than what was typed. The apex with all modules was 1300. This also included my rodi, the container system, water change system, my return pump is a Vectra so that's $350, then you have all the chiller and dosing system and little things and redundancies. I have a saltwater app that tracks everything down to the penny as well as purchase location and condition. I stopped using it when I got my apex (before the Vectra and a few other items) and that is when it was at the price I said. Thanks for your concern tho. We all know how valued your opinion is.
