thanks to all the several replies.
i have to stress that $150 is already dirt cheap, let alone any price lower. i'll stick to that price. please do not counter offer, i will not respond to that. if no takers, i'll continue to use it.
sorry if i offended anyone, i dont mean that. but it is frustrating when you receive ridiculous counter offers. we are talking about AquaC skimmers here, not some cheapo-made.
for those who have left me with contacts, i will contact you shortly and i thank you for your enquiries.
thanks to all.
