Does $200 sound fair Jimson?

I've looked all over the internet to try to get an idea of what these are worth, but they vary from $300 + shipping from the USA, to $800 shipped.

I truly don't know what I should ask for this tank, but my biggest gripe is "For Sale, offers" or "what's it worth" ads and I am going to avoid that scenario.
So I have set a price, maybe the collective knowledge here can tell me if I am being fair or otherwise, I am a reasonable person at the end of the day.

The only ones I can find are these:

Personally I think these guys are just being greedy pricks.

That's a good price Tony & I'm sure someone on here will snap it up. My DT250 project is a budget build & your tank is way to good for a 1978 DT250 bush hack lol So I'll let all the other peoples in VMX land have a shot. Thanks jimson

No worries Jimson. I would rather someone here utilise it rather than stick it up on Fleabay!

Mate I would like to buy that tank off you. Could you ship it to Brisbane?

the first one looks like it is off a YZ80D - not a 125?

Hi Pinned, I have had a couple of PM's before your post so to be fair I will offer it to those first in, if they don't buy it then it's yours. I can post to Brisbane but that would be extra, it would be cheap to post though, these are so light!

No.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.
