So, some backstory here. A while back I was looking at my Leave & Earnings Statement and noticed my pay was not right. I talked to finances and they said I'd be getting a check for $1200 and that was the money I was going to use on this tank. Lo and behold, the finance department also noticed they OVER paid me $1600 so they'd be taking the $1200 and I would have to pay them the $400 difference... FML right?!

Long story short, if you're in the military... CHECK EVERY LES!!

I'm guessing the guy didn't have an offer at 325 then.

At any rate, $400 is way too much. If you pay more than $250 you're being foolish.

For point of reference, the same lights are used in my area for $40-50 each. Noticed of course after I paid $80 for a new one.
