$150. It comes with a copper stand, gravel, plants, hood, lights, pump and tubing. I probably wont use any of the extras. Maybe use them to set up my current tank for some fish.

Sounds like a good deal to me, as long as the tank doesn't have any chips/cracks :D

I feel like an idiot. I didn't like the stand so I paid $100. And I checked the tank before I paid for it. But after I got home I found a chip near one of the top corners. I measured it and used the tank calculator to figure out that it is only 50 gallons. (48x12x20).

Bummer. You can try contacting the person again and saying it wasn't the size he advertised.

I told them that it wasn't the size they said it was and they replied that the person who sold them the tank told them it was a 75 gal and they never put water in it, so they never realized it wasn't 75 gal. So, now I don't even know if it will hold water. Should I set it up on the ground in my garage and see if it leaks?

Definitely fill it with water outside or in the garage before you set it up in the house. You wouldn't want 50 gallons of water all over your living room floor!
