How much should I offer?

[Organized Chaos]

A guy I work with offered me his 30 gal. setup that he has had empty for years. Here is what he told me he has:

30 Gallon Long tank
undergravel filter
heater
gravel
one of those metal (iron?) stands
rocks and fake plants

He said to make an offer. I always feel bad offering too low, but I don't want to say anything too high because I'm broke.

Does $100 sound like a good price or what?

What would that go for new?

Thanks

You could most likely get the same thing brand new for that price with a power filter instead of under gravel. I would offer between 40 and 50.

For my personal opioin 100 is too much. If i were you, i would give him like 65 - 70 buck. Look he'd be more than happy to get rid of it for 65 - 70 buck because he has no use of it anyway. But i understand how you feel if you were to go lower than that. It's on you, your call.

IMO, $40
