3 250W EVC Metal Halide retro's...Florida

I have 3 250W EVC retro's with 3 XM 10K bulbs (1 month old) and 3 EVC 14K bulbs (Used for 2 weeks). Ballasts and reflectors are 1 1/2 months old. Asking $500 for all.

I might break up if I can get all 3 sold for $185 shipped. Each kit will get 1 XM10K and 1 EVC 14K.

I will not sell bulbs separately.
Thanks
Joe

frankiej - I'm getting out of the hobby. I just sold most of my livestock and now I'm ready to sell the lights. They work great and they're practically new.

gio17vani - Not breaking up at this time but will keep it in mind. Thanks

Thanks for the replies, and also would like to ask if these ballasts will run double ended as well as single ended bulbs?

Good luck with your reefs, and thanks for the time and answers to all the questions.

I don't get it you are asking 150.00 for something you paid 159.00 brand new it was 20.00 extra for the bulb you specified. I am willling to buy if you want to make a good deal otherwise why would I not but new!

Yes chefer but your not including what it would cost for the 3 extra xm 10000k bulbs on top of the 159 for the retro with the evc tech bulbs and the xm are like 60 or 70 each so total would be around 477 for the retros with the evc 14k bulbs, plus another 180-210 for the xm's on top of the included with retro bulbs.

Anyhow just wanted to let you know this, as it is a good deal and if I can get the money before anyone else does who wants them, then I am going to buyem, and you should try to look at all the info before making the kind of statement you make about someones prices, as if you dont want them then so be it, but why try to bash what they are asking, especially when your wrong in the first place.

Thanks all and good luck with your reefs, and bargain hunting to lol.

Just looked at the OceanEncounter website and the total cost with no tax or shipping would be $684, so how 450 is a bad deal is beyond my comprehension.

Good luck with your reefs.

Thanks FrankieJ.

Chefer....You would be getting a total of 6 bulbs. 3 that were only used for 2 weeks and the other 3 are 1 1/2 months old.

Yes I originally paid $500 for the 3 retros and then I paid another $200 for the XM's so $450 vs $700 and you won't need bulbs for 2 years.

Sorry guys my bag I looked up the retro kits and to upgrade to the xm bulbs were only 20 bucks more for a total of 179.00 plus shipping for the kit with the 10k xm bulbs. I didn't realize you bought the xm bulbs after sorry I missed that.
