Suckeeerrrr!

I just had to share this. I thought about it this morning and it was kinda' funny.  If you didn't know I just moved into a new home, everything is going great and I'm feeling blessed.  Only one problem - I have a 150 gallon bow-front aquarium and nowhere to put it.  You see in my last house the living room and family room/den was combined leaving me plenty of room for my tank.  Well, this time around not so. The configuration of my new home is far different than my last so the tank gots' to go.

Here's my ad on craigslist:

150 GALLON AQUARIUM WITH SOME ACCESSORIES AND SOLID WOOD STAND. I NEVER USED IT. THE OWNER BEFORE ME USED IT AS A FRESHWATER AQUARIUM. CAN ALSO BE USED AS A TERRARIUM IM SURE. EVERYTHING RETAILS FOR ABOUT $1500, I'M WILLING TO LET GO FOR $800, OBO. SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY!!! IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT, I'M AVAILABLE DURING THE WEEKDAYS AFTER 9PM, BUT ANYTIME ON THE WEEKENDS.

A week later, I get a call Sunday morning from a guy in Gloucester Co. that's interested in buying it.  "Sure, it's still available," I told him, and gave him my address to come out and take a look.  No one is going to drive all the way from Gloucester Co. just to "look" at a fish tank - that thing was as good as sold.

So he and his wife arrived about an hour and a half later and while we're loading his truck with the tank and stand he starts to go on about how rare my aquarium is, and, unless you're lucky, to get another like it you would have to get it custom made.  Honestly, I did the research on how much a 150 gallon tank would retail for, but now it explains why I couldn't find anything on bow-fronts specifically.  And the guy just couldn't shut up soon enough about it, he just kept needling me and needling me with it.

Anyway, I'm glad it's gone and out of my hair.  Plus, the money I got for it is going towards my new 55" LED TV before football season hits.  HEELLZ YEEAH!
