Think you can fit that in the back of your ML450 Marko?

I sold the ml550 6 weeks ago. Have an Audi a4 now.

But my dad has a truck with a long box

Replacement cost is 17500
Comes with or without fish
You guys have comfirmed my own thoughts that I had passed on to the owner when he first told me the price
I will have to run this price by him but is 2500 more reasonable to be asking

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.
