nmac15 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Its great when you buy a 55 gal and at the cash register you see them take off 70-something dollars. Makes you wonder how much these tanks are really worth. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I think they are a loss leader during these sales nmac. When you think about it, it is really very smart. They lose some money in the short run on tanks, but in the long run now that someone has tanks, they "need" to buy equipment and decor to make it functional and look nice.

nmac15 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 So true soothing so in actuality it is a great marketing scheme But great for people like us who already have most of the materials and equipment needed.

TheGardenofEder Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I'm sure they hate me all I really buy from them is tanks and every now and then some gravel. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chibikaie Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I spend enough at these places that I do not ever feel guilty for taking advantage of a sale or clearance item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
