I am looking for about 3000 for the whole group but if i don't get any taker by a few weeks, i will start selling them individual. I spent a lot more than what i m asking for here. There is nothing wrong with any of my discus. I just don't have time to take care of them anymore. If you are interested please send me an pm. I will post some pictures up tomorrow. I prefer pickup and i live in san jose.

I have following discus

2 x Wild Discus 5.5”+
1x Penang Eruption 6”+
1x Red Cover 4.5”+
1x Wild Discus 4”+
4x Red Fire 3.5” – 4”
5x Red White 3.5”+
7x Altum Flora 4”+
3x Blue Platinum 3.5” +
1x Colbat 4.5”+

why you have to be 8 hrs drive away, wish you're closer.

[DiscusDrew]

3000, is really pushing it but good luck. Guess it kinda depends on the quality of the fish. Who's the importer on most of those?

[Trier20]

I'm sure people would appreciate some pictures too

[BobDaniel]

Hello Gabloo! I was looking for a Ehiem type water pump to pump the stored water into my tank? Have you got one??

[boscobear]

BobDaniel , I use a Wayne transfer pump, connected with drinking water quality hose lines to move water from my water reservoir container. Great pumps, many different sizes available. Most are very reasonable in cost too. Wayne makes quality equipment which can last for years.

[DiscusDrew]

Yeah so does magdrive, and honestly pumps are one category I would NOT go used on. I guess if its a mag pump of some kind its a much lower risk but still, pumps are something that you really dont want going out in a pinch.

[gabloo]

Hey BobDaniel : I do have Mag Drive Model 24, 2400gph new for sell as well. I bought it about 6 months ago and have been sitting in my apartment. I never get a chance to install or get it to work yet. So, if you are still interested please send me a pm with offer. I bought off kensfish.com for 165 dollar.

Sorry guys, I just took a quick pics and video of my whole setup and Discus. Let me know if anyone of u are interested. I do have any of other equipments to sell so if you are looking for something let me know.

I found a pump on Ebay that was basically new (run a week).

[gabloo]

Bump! Anyone interested?

[gabloo]

Any Taker for 2500? I just want to get rid of these before school start.

[warblad79]

Its hard to sell them at that price but if you split them up maybe somebody might buy them.

[gabloo]

Warblad - Thanks for advice. I was hoping someone will come by and pick up all of them. I will save my time and their cash but u are right, i might have to split them up.

[DerekFF]

How much for the 2 wilds?

I decided to splite them apart. Here is the pricing for group as well as individual. Ofcuz, always welcome for $2500 for my whole stock. If u buy more than one discus, i will give 10 dollar discount for every other discus that u buy. If u buy more than one group, i will give additional 10 dollar off on next group as well. The reason i prefer selling as a group is people try to pick the best one out of the group and its not really fair for everyone but if u are willing to pay for it, its all urs. You don't have to buy to pm me or come by my place ;P. So, please do not hesitate to come by!

Gabloo I truly truly mean no disrespect and am not trying to be rude at all my friend but your prices are very top dollar. I won't list specific examples but I would recommend looking at sponsor sites and checking current values on a lot of those fish. They look healthy and whatnot but there are some common strain discus in there that can actually be bought cheaper direct even with shipping. All i'm saying is if you want to unload them instead of sit on them you may need to reevaluate pricing. There are a lot of people here that will pick up fish quick, and don't low ball yourself by any means but you may consider looking around I guess is all i'm saying. Best of luck man.

+ 1 Agree, you need to reevaluate your pricing because they are little bit higher. if you want them to sell quickly. I have a nice Penang eruption and I'm selling it for a more than 5 months for $130 but up until now still no taker.

[Poco]

Gabloo, no disrespect my friend. You are asking for more than the retail price. As Drew said check some SD sponsors prices for July/August shipments and you will see what I mean. Most of the people on SD are quite savvy so you might not get much luck with those prices. The basic rule of thumb is when you sell private you have to offer a good price compared to retail prices, because you have to factor in the risk (fear of unknown) that the buyer is taking to buy from you.

Good Luck!

[DiscusDrew]

Your red cover is about right though lol. 50 bucks is a good deal if he looks good, the rest are not all. I wouldn't buy a basic Altum flora from a direct importer for 75 bucks, its like a turq, one of your most common lowest value fish.

[lifan23]

I concur, I would lower everything by at least 20%, but good luck with that.

[gabloo]

Thanks for great advice guys! I havn't really check the pricing of these guy lately so i really sure how much it worth. The reason i priced these guy this much is that the size that i wrote on the post is actually smaller than what they really are. Well that is my lost. Taking everyone advice lowering group price by 20%, individual price will be remain the same because i don't ppl to pick fish pieces by pieces. Send me pm guys! My lost is ur gain!

or take all of them 2300 (lowered 200).

[gabloo]

DiscusDrew : I did take out 20% for group price. Did i do something wrong?

[DiscusDrew]

I'm just going to ignore that to say, that looks great Gabloo, I see what you meant now, i'm sure you'll get rid of these guys in no time! Every one of these threads has commentary, he didn't take it the wrong way so hopefully all this helped him get rid of some fish! Good luck Gabloo!

[gabloo]

Warlock - Thank you. They were just trying to help me out.

DiscusDrew - I totally understood that you guys were trying to helping me out. Thanks again.
