A wee bit overpriced. Like 2x. :) You have to be careful when you're buying things on ebay.

I'm not sure what is exciting about this? It's a good price if you can get it for the $149.99, but the buy it now price is a little out of hand.

I think this board alone raised the demand for canister filters, so they are raising the prices. Supply and demand economics.

That was my point... An AMAZING Rip Off... especially considering they were going for 89.99 not too long ago.

Honestly, I paid $130 for mine and that was the best deal at the time. PetSmart was running it at $105 at the time, but I didn't realize I could store-match and even after taxes, it would have been close to $130 anyways. I think the days of $90 are in the past ... unless you find a good sale ...

Yeah, I think I want to eventually upgrade to one, we are getting a 75 gallon soon, if not, I may just use my Eheim 2126 and Fluval 304 together.
