jm82792 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 So we are most likely going to portland so I'm moving to Hawaii and so on..... Anyways I'm curious on what LFS would pay the highest for my LR here's a shot of it : I'd be stunned if a member wanted the LR and the tank but well I'm hoping the LR will sell. So anyways my requirement is that the LFS is somewhat near the PDX airport(my dad is visiting then is going back to work in Hawaii). And if magically a member in Portland wants the whole AP 24 setup pm me/or call me (541)396-6265 (offer me a price anything reasonable ) I'd like a number of a few LFS's that you know will pay a somewhat decent price for my LR and Lava base.... And if they buy whole setups that would be awesome. Sorry about asking I'm 16 and money is an issue otherwise if I was older I'd just go to my LFS.

Michael7979 Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 The best thing to do is get the phone numbers of all the LFS off the 'store info.' threads in their forums. Then call and talk to the owners. I know it is alot of work but thats the best way to find out if anyone might buy the entire set-up.

CCR Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 You can try Craigslist also. It's going to be tough for such short notive>I haven't got enought money to get my big tank up. Good Luck. I' love to house it for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jm82792 Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 Well I have like 2 weeks or so,I'll call some LFS's and see if I can get $3.50 a pound and $$.75 to $1.50 per pound for the lava rock. I listed it in craigslist a few weeks ago, I've thought about ebay since it's only $4 for me to list it... For Hawaii I have schemes for a small setup then when we get settled like a 55 or 100 FOWLER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsoz Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 For close to the airport, there are two stores. Both Saltwater Fanta-seas and Seahorse NW are really close to PDX. But if you travel up I-5, both Waves and Upscales are really close to the freeway exits. I am pretty sure that most of the stores will give you some trade (I don't know about cash) for the rock. SWFS usually has some used tanks that I think he sells as a consignment (he sells the tanks for you then takes some of the price as a fee). Good luck. Have a good time in Hawaii dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowpunk Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Seahorse does consignment stuff sometimes. usually just tanks and fish I think though. You could call them and see if they could help you out if you can't sell it outright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
