I keep a notification up on craigslist for used tanks. I rarely see 40g breeders posted and if I do they are normally priced in the $50 - $75 range. So $45 for a brand spanking new tank males me all giddy inside.

The tropical fish communities I'm part of wait all year for this sale. Not great if you want a small tank but if you are looking for 40 or 55 gals...
Well all of them likely raise the prices, but they have some that don't do it to the same extreme. That sounds like a good price though.

I'll do my example:

50 gal tank heater pet smart = $54.99, their website 49.99
bigappleherp(not sure if they have an actual store or not) = 24.99

Now I have a mom and pop local store that is $28.99.

That's all I was curious about, now they do sales with that 54.99 UTH and they'll list it at 44.99, but that's still very steep.
