Was this a good deal? Thinking about buying 2 eheims...

[nightster]

I'm thinking about buying 2 eheim 2217 today for $140, only thing is they are 2 years old. Is this a rip off or is this average?

[jhenry]

$70.00 for a 2217 doesn't sound that bad. If you're having a little buyers remorse I'll buy one from? Or both?

[nightster]

Well I haven't bought them yet, I edited my post lol. I found out that they have been in storage, idk how long and judging from the picture they look to be missing the tubing...

[jhenry]

Who is the seller I'll check it out if you don't mind

[nightster]

Yea right buddy, I don't have stupid written across my fore head...

No tubing...hmm.. will they come with the intake and output pieces ? Will they come with media ? I ask because those pieces are going to cost you a little bit . I'm not 100% sure...but the hose and intake / output pieces may cost you an additional $40.00 per filter . That's not including media which may add an additional $20.00 to each filter depending upon what brand of media you choose . So basically , what I'm suggeting to you is to stop by or call City Pets and price all the pieces that you are going to need . Once you do that .....then you can see how the price compares to a new 2217 .

[nightster]

Well I'm gonna need new tubing and new pads. Media and plastic peices are all there...

[supadave]

Lastly.......check to see if they will come with the Quick Disconnects . These are quite expensive if you need to replace them .

Say kid I wasn't trying to hoard in on your deal. I just sounded like you had some buyer remorse so I was going to help you out. If I wanted a 2217 I'de go get a new one for $105.00. By good luck to you

I'm sorry, I guess I did come across kinda smart ***. I don't know a lot of people on here, but I didn't mean it that way. And please don't call me a kid, I work for a living (not saying you don't)...

kid is a expression has nothing to due with you age brotha
But back to the Eheims it doesn't sound like a good deal you'll possible need to spend more money making them work than they are worth

Really? Even if all I need is pads and tubing?

[mgarrido]

I think 100 dollars for a complete used 2217 is a fair price, everything under that price is a good deal.

It is on craigslist. http://houston.craigslist.org/for/2392315109.html. Looks like you need spray bars and hose. Not a bad deal.
