Any interest in a mega tank

[gregzz4]

You still haven't told us anything specific about the included equipment

So, ya, $2500.00 is too much

It sounds as if the owner just really wants the thing gone, and in a pretty narrow time frame, too. Replacement cost doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things. Neither does the original cost.

The only cost that matters is what it is worth to someone else, and being that moving it is going to be a royal pain in the backside there isn't a whole lot of value there. If he can get rid of it without it costing him anything, I think that is the most he can hope for. Moving it, in one piece, would take several people, a flatdeck truck (or trailer), and potentially even a small picker.

Providing the equipment that goes with the tank is reasonable quality, a good option might be to offer the equipment for free (or a very reduced cost) to whoever is willing to get the tank out of the restaurant in the middle of the night before August 1st.

I have to agree with this!

I'm backing out of assiting to sell this tank. As the owner and I have had a bit of a falling out between us. That and I don't want to taint my own reputation over this tank.

i think it will be way less complicated this way, there is obviously a communication issue going on so you should probably just let him deal with it on his own.

There was a nightclub in d/t Vancouver that had a much bigger, much nicer tank that they were trying to sell as they were renovating the place. It went from some really high price ($10000 I think) to being offered for free on the last night. I think in the end, waiting till the last minute before offering it for free to anybody who would pay the cost of removing the tank was a bad idea. They ended up smashing the tank to get it out of there "quickly" in little pieces if I remember correctly before the renos could start in the morning. My friend was trying to convince me to grab it that last night, but the tank was bigger than my vehicle.

It's too bad as something like this requires significant lead-time, it's not exactly a car you can just drive off the lot.
