Altered, that's the same kind you just traded away, you know that right? :)

Yeah I know, just wanted to let Sundevil know who was interested in my tank in case I don't do a trade with them. But I think my deal is going to fall through. I will keep ya guys updated.

Jonboy you are killing me.
I promised my wife I would not buy anymore (for me) for awhile.
I guess I could sell a couple of mine for $75.(j/k)
Seriously I guess I could sell one or two if I like the new stuff.


$75 would be a steal.........going rate last couple of weeks has been in the $125 range.......rediculous scammers.....

It is awful RIMP, I've always thought that people here were in the mindset of helping one another. I do find comfort in knowing that most are that way and there's just a few of them that are out to help themselves by ripping off others.

It's a shame that someone would charge another $125 for a tank that they paid less than $60 for. :( But it will happen because there are greedy people that have no morals and sleep just fine after ripping off another.

I think some of them may have actually paid $125 for the tanks and are trying to recoup what they paid, but who knows. I wouldn't do that even if I did overpay.

You should be getting some vape mail today, Tammy!

I'm not sure what is more disappointing.....the ones who sell at that price or the ones who buy at those elevated prices. I recently sold my one and only Lava (Red Delight) for 65.00 with 3 tanks.....never considered selling it for more than I paid for it via another members generosity in giving me the opportunity to own one. Needed the cash or never would have sold....hopefully one day I can actually "win" one.....:)

I do agree with the inflated prices being ridiculous, but on the same hand I do understand the Supply vs Demand theorem. These tanks are awesome, and everyone who doesn't have one wants one. I myself had been lusting after one ever since I first saw one. I did finally get one in the last sale (woooo hoooo!!!) and now I want more :sneaky: LOL. So the fact that some people would pay the exorbitant prices offered by resellers I do understand. I personally think $125 is outrageous but paying a small mark up on an item in high demand but with low supply is something that has been done for ages. If you payed $45/$55 for a tank and sell it for $75/$80 dollars I think that isn't unreasonable. Besides these are works of art and no two are identical so essential you are selling a one of a kind item. In the end tho after the initial sale the item is really only worth what someone is willing to pay, just look at any collectable items(e.g. Paintings, Baseball Card, Comics, Guns, even Nike's :) ) The rarer an item the more it theoretical value it has. Unfortunately some do gouge prices and set the bar extremely high for their sales, but a rare item someone really wants will get bought, or it will fall by the way side until an acceptable price for it is offered or the abundant supply of the item is increased
