    Default annoying almost-puchase

    So I went to go buy a tank from a lady that was advertising it as a 120 gallon tank. I got there, and promptly took out a tape measure because I knew it could not be as big as she said it was. The thing was barely 70 gallons!!!!!! I'm like, this is not even close to 120 gallons!!!! Her reply: Well, I estimated......

    Needless to say I didn't buy the tank.......

    Sheesh, the lengths (no pun intended ) that people will go to in order to sell something. That blows

    That's why I always ask for LxWxH measurements before I'll even go look at one. Saves me a surprising amount of trips.

    I know - I do too. She gave me measurments for a 48x24x24 tank. but when I got there and called her on it, she said she simply estimated the size, and hadn't actually measured it.
