Hi everyone, I am thinking of selling an 48" Outer Orbit Extreme fixture and was hoping people could help give opinions on what may be a fair price. It has two 150 watt MH with 4x54 watt T5's and moonlights. It appears to still be selling for around $800 new?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! I replaced the bulbs awhile back based upon popular feedback from these forums. I believe the MH are Ushio but I can't remember which t5's I chose. They would not have to be replaced for awhile is my point I suppose. Thanks in advance!

I usually start at about 50% of new and go lower as necessary. In the current economy you will probably end up at about 30/40% of the retail price. Having the new bulbs might help you get a better price. GL

Unless you have the receipt and its withing 3 months of replacing the bulbs I wouldn't take your word for it. People seem to be dishonest and will say the bulbs are a month old when they are really 2 years old. Sucks but thats how it goes.

Try for 50%.
