How much should I pay for this?

A lady on craigslist has a 50 gallon bow front aquarium with stand. I haven't seen pics yet (she is going to send them to me asap) but she says it is really nice. She used it for saltwater and just took it down. She doesn't really know what she wants for it. She asked me how much I want to spend. I would love to say "oh, how about $25?" but I don't want to insult her. What do you think is a fair price? TIA!

depends on what she includes in it. 50-75 if it is just the tank / stand.

Generally $1/gallon is a good price. So yeah, I agree with Doc.
