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!
