I have found so much stuff and saved a ton of money on CL. I was making a gameroom for my sons and looking for an airhockey table until I realized they are too dang big. I found a rod/stick hockey game at the end of last year in mint condition like this one http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=208218019&listingid=23990402&dcaid=17902 but ours has plexi side boards and electronic scoreboard and no dome and it retailed for around $500. I paid $50 for it.

This was the big score though. I am getting ready to gut my 2nd floor bathroom and knock out a wall to put a bigger tub in. I see a posting for a whirlpool tub display model. The lady said it was in a showroom and the company liquidated and they were going to put an addition on but just got divorced. She just wanted $200, I told her I had $150 cash and she said deal so this is what I just picked up for $150:

And it also had this faucet set attached already:

There was one little 3 inch black mark that buffed right out. Other than that the tub is in perfect condition and has never seen water.

you know how much i dislike my tank tank that is 30 inches tall. i love how it looks set up but getting to the bottom is very hard. my next tank will be no taller than 24 inches.

Even though I have a 75gal I have the same issue. I added to my canopy to put my retro MH and T5 in and when I lift up the top I have reach down in and it's 28 or 29 inches to the bottom. The only time I need to reach to the bottom is when a frag falls and then I just use the tongs.
