Hi everyone,
I was wondering what you guys thought of these websites. Are they trustworthy? I need to buy an XP3 and since petsmart stopped all price-matching, so this is now the cheapest way to get one.

I got my XP3 from ebay from a seller named PetSolutions. They have a real store in Ohio. Check out ebay, they have a few good prices at the moment.

Ok SO! after many avenues of failure, I finally got a new xp3 from ebay for $120 + $20 shipping, so $140 isn't that bad. Hope all turns out well!
Thanks everyone for your input!

I have quite a bit of experience with the penguin 350, and emperor 400, and trust me, a canister with less GPH will kick its butt anyday. hahaha
