Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

What's going price for used equipment?
Hi all,
Wasn't sure quite where to post but a former snake breeder gave me a bunch of 10 and 20 gallon long tanks with screen tops, 250watt dome reflectors and 60watt ceramic heaters.
As a turtle/tortoise keeper, I don't have much use for these items but can sell this locally at the herp society or reptile shows. While the items are all in great shape, I don't think they are worth more than a few bucks a piece.
Anyways, any ideas on what to ask for the tanks, reflectors and heaters? If anyone is near Cleveland, let's make a deal.
Thank you

20 long tanks with lids should be worth at least 20.00 and the 10 should be worth at least 10.00 The domes and heat emmiters should be worth 10.00-20.00 each as well. I'd probably sell a 20 long with lid, dome and CHE for 30.00 or 35.00. and I'd probably do 20.00 or 25.00 on the 10's I know people are going to point out cheap online prices but most of the time they forget that these items just don't show up on their doorstep, shipping costs are involved.
Another aspect is the condition, I know you said they were in great shape but believe me, great shape to the seller is not always the same as great shape to the rest of the world ( I won't say to the buyer because that will sound like the buyer is just saying they are crap as an excuse for a lower offer) I bought a used tank today that I could have sold as new, and I threw out a few last week that someone had given me because it wasn't worth the effort to try to clean them up just to make maybe 5.00 on them. Both of the original owners said they were in great shape when they first approached me. In the first case I already sold the tank and made 20.00. In the second I was only out the time it took me to help unload them and then to haul them to the dumpster.
good luck selling them
