I have a friend, and a customer (for profucts, not maintenance), that has just purchased a new house, and is getting rid of his 400 gallon plus system.
In his new house we will be building a tank that is 1000 gallons plus.
The tanks itself is approx 340gallons. It has only been used for maybe a year and a half, and was built by (IMHO) the most professional., and highest quality aquarium builder in Calgary.
The tank is custome dimensions, so I will have to get them. But to give you an idea on it, it is somewhere around 74 x 44 x 30. Tank is eurobraced, with an overflow in the center of the back of the tank.
Tank comes with 150 gallon(ish) sump, 50 gallon refugium, all plumbing (over 400 dollars worth) some pumps and other odds and ends.
Tank also was designed to have hanging brackets that matcht the tubular steel stand and mount to it for hanging light fixtures above it.
Also available with or without is 2x 400watt metal halides in luminarc reflectors, as well as an extra luminarc.
Pricing this beast is kinda difficult as you pretty much have to see it to believe it, but the price can go anywhere from 5 dollars for some crush coral to 4000 with setup and delivery.
The guy is really reasonable, and youi will get a good deal if you are a serious buyer. He is not in a real rush to sell either, as he will have access to both houses.
Basically, to give you a ballpark, I think he is looking for about 2000 dollars delivered to his driveway for the tanks, stand, maybe a couple of pumps, and a couple hundred more for the lightingThis deal would be one that after the driveway, you make arrangements thereforth. That doesnt say that we wont help out on the other end, but wont arrange for all the guys, or cover any damages or injuries in getting the tank in to the new place.
Pm me if youa re interested, or have any questions. Or post them.
Basically, he is a little flexible on the price, as there are so many different circumstances for labour, what you want, etc...but you woul dbe pretty much getting this tank at wholeasale pricing.
Let me know if you have any questions this could make a hell of a winter projcet, or a four seasons project!

WAnted to throw a diclaimer in here also so this thread doesnt get deleted, that the sale of this tank is completely private and no money from the sale of this tank will go through my aquarium maintenance company. I stand to make not a dollar from this sale! edit: I may however make a couple cases of beer in the dissassembly of the tank!
