Price of rack?

[SeeTheCityLights]

I'm considering purchasing a melamine rack with flexwatt tape, it has 5 shelves that each hold two 32qt tubs on each shelf (10 tubs). It can also hold three 12qt tubs (with lids) across each shelf. The price is $175 and it comes with the ten 32qt tubs.
I don't know anything about racks as I only have 1 BP in a 10g tank now, but we're going to pick up 2 more BP's tomorrow, and plan on buying more BP's in the future, so we're wanting a rack.
Is $175 a good price or..?

Depending on the condition and how well built it is, that doesn't sound like a bad price at all. The tubs alone would be around $100 or so for Sterilite 32 quart tubs (10 of them). I would look it over thoroughly and make sure there are no wear spots in the Flexwatt where the elements were exposed and make sure everything is still square and well built on the rack itself and none of the shelves sag in the middle or anything. Expect it to be HEAVY but if it looks good otherwise, that isn't a bad price.

Okay great, thank you!

good point on the bin prices to compare. test the flex watt before you take it, make sure it actually heats up.

Where you buyin your tubs lol? Mine are like $7-8. More like $80 imo.

OP: It depends on how well built the rack is like someone else said.^ Be warned that melamine racks are VERY heavy so bring help or you'll bust a nut moving it lol.

A French boutique, name of: Target, pronounced: tar-ZHAY. Hahahaahahaha! That's what the run in my area...either way, the tubs alone, in good condition, would make up a decent portion of that asking price.

My boyfriend is in the process of buying a new house, so he's trying to save as much money as he can, but if $175 is really that good of a price, we'll buy them (assuming everything works and is in good condition). I can easily put $100 on it as long as he is cool with covering the $75. But if it's likely that we will be able to find a rack for cheaper, then we'll skip on it. What do you guys think?

Go and check it out and if its in good condition go for it. Ask for a few pics beforehand and post them and we can tell you if it looks to be in good shape or not.
