FS: Brand New PFO dual 250 HQI ballast-$300

Roman Ogee · 09/07/2008, 01:16 PM

Hello all. I ordered a ballast for an upgrade at the beginning of the year. Well bonehead me didn't open the box til just now. I ordered a dual 400 HQI and got a dual 250 HQI. The box said 400, so I didn't think anything of it. The place where I ordered said they would take care of it, but I want to avoid them getting stuck with a ballast because of my mistake. The ballast goes for about $350. I would like to get $300 for it. It is BRAND NEW. I haven't even taken it out of the box.

Pick up is in Crystal Lake or I may be able to meet somewhere depending on the location. Thanks.

I know a guy with a new 275g tank that might need that.

Roman Ogee · 09/07/2008, 06:05 PM

I know a guy that wouldn't mind sellin a guy a ballast!

aiko670 · 09/07/2008, 06:22 PM

For the record......

I'm not even the least bit interested!

Roman Ogee · 09/07/2008, 08:51 PM

Ballast is still available. Regardless of Aiko's interest.

aiko670 · 09/07/2008, 09:34 PM

Let's keep this at the top until it's sold then....

karenL · 09/08/2008, 08:02 AM

so let me get this correct

Roman Ogee has a brand new, in the box, 250 watt HQI dual metal halide ballast that Adam and I don't need for sale

is that about right

Um, Krunchy doesn't want it either. Other than that, you're right on the $$!

46cobraguy · 09/08/2008, 09:43 AM

roman, id love to have that ballast, but funds are tied up at the moment....unless you wanted to work out a deal on a used pfo dual 400 ballast....

Roman Ogee · 09/08/2008, 09:53 AM

Do you mean you have a dual 400 you are getting rid of? HQI?

"Want" and "Can Afford" are two totally different things! I just bought a 275g tank you know ...

Looks like 69cobragirl may have a deal in store for you though.

Bump for a good deal on a great ballast.

Yeah, and now you need more lights!

"Don't Want Now" and "Can't Afford" are the same though.

Who knows if I'll hear back from gobbleguys. He's got a posting track record similar to videolands....

Thanks for the bump bud.

46cobraguy · 09/08/2008, 11:37 AM

Roman Ogee · 09/08/2008, 12:29 PM

Thanks for the offer, but I want an HQI.

Roman Ogee · 09/08/2008, 09:55 PM

fijiblue · 09/09/2008, 06:01 AM

Will you take $5 for it?

Im just playing. I'm not even the least bit interested, either

(At least I bumped the thread)

Roman Ogee · 09/09/2008, 09:53 AM

Hey, do you still have that chiller? Cause I have this buddy with a 75, that is not interested in it.

fijiblue · 09/09/2008, 04:16 PM

Yeah, I still have it. Let your buddy know that I wont sell it to him.

Good thing Roman said something. I was just going to talk to you about that chiller. I've got that 275g coming in next week... and i'm still not interested.

Wouldn't matter...the chiller is rated for .000014562128 gallons anyway.

(I hope that 5 years from now a newbie doesn't look at this comment and believe it

)

aiko670 · 09/10/2008, 12:49 PM

After some serious thought and much debate I've come to the conclusion that although this is a fantastic deal, I'm still not interested.

I do how ever wish you the best of luck in all future endeavors.

karenL · 09/10/2008, 01:04 PM
