AH yes, but are you forgetting about the sand bags, mini wire barriers and camo bag!?

Look at this auction...$65.95 with $11 shipping and it's in the US.

It seems crazy to me too but people are willing to pay those inflated prices. The guy I bought my tanks from knows how to do an eBay auction. Post the starting price low, so you can actually bid on the item, ya know, like an auction. The above item that is starting at $66... that's not an auction, that is called retail price plus 25%.

usagi, it might come as a revelation to you but:

1. Some of us don't live in Japan.

2. Once you make enough money it will cost more to spend time on looking for a better price that the amount you're saving.

Everybody's different. I'm sure people woudn't pay $69 per tank if they didn't want to.

Usagi...you should get into the business of buying and then selling us the tanks!

No I not forgetting those cheap less then $1.00 to make snadbags and $0.75 to make carring bag. Its just another reason to carry that much.
the issue of living here or not is the it, but seeming listing products at this cost is a bit too much. ANyways its just a comment I want to make about them. Its not life of death.
