Equipment Review and Discussion :: Fx6 canister filter opinions

[Kansasslider]

no Steve I'm not trying stock up just trying to stay ahead of the game I have an FX 5 and it's an awesome filter and I wouldn't mind having another one if the idiots on ebay would stop outbidding each other. they sell new for what $330 yet people on ebay or paying that for an FX 5 not on FX 6. as Forrest Gump one said stupid is as stupid does

[Kansasslider]

And I take it you're not a huge FX 5 fan?

[steve]

I'm not a fan of Fluval but I do like the FX5 when it's $200. Yea, eBay can be crazy for in-demand stuff. Lots of time they don't read the description and just get into a bidding war.

[Kansasslider]

yea people are paying too much for them. I bid $250 that's all I was willing to pay. Took one day to be outbid .

[steve]

Bid high or snipe!

[Kansasslider]

If you bid so high that your paying retail prices why bid at all.

[steve]

Well, bid high as much as you're willing to so you don't have to watch the auction. Though i would probably snipe on something like this.

[VeipaCray]

The 20 seconds left snipe is the way to go.

[Kansasslider]

yea I would do that but not going to pay 3 bills for an fx5

[slider_keeper]

Wow, I payed less than $200 with free shipping for both mine. One over 5 yrs ago and the other about two yrs ago! Sucks the price has gone through the roof, not cool:(

[Kansasslider]

I should have bought 2 when I got mine. Oh well I will keep looking.

[slider_keeper]

Yeah the bidding wars can be interesting. I'm like you why bid for something at retail price, seems like a waste. I don't use eBay probably chase of bidding wars.
