Is $42.00 shipped a good price for new exo terra glass terrariums a good price? (12x12x12)

I am thinking about getting a few but I really don't know what prices are high and what are average.

Is this a new cage. If so, where is it advertised at.

Considering new they cost me $28.00 on sale I would say that $42.00 shipped is cheap.

Yeah they're clearing them at petsmart, you should go there (if you have one near you). I picked up an 18x18x18 exo-terra there for $44, I believe they had a 12x12x12 there too for $20. I don't know why but everyone seems to be clearing them.

They were on ebay and I ended up getting 3 for $100 from the lady. All are brand new sealed she said.

Petsmart! Wow, I called about all 15 stores in the Portland, OR area and only one was clearancing them out. Luckily the store that is has one 12x12x12, its not $20 but 32.99 so Its the same as I'm paying, shipped a 2 hour drive is in order now

. Might go get another one to have 4!

Huh, maybe I should go back to my petsmart and grab that 12x12x12 then. Glad I at least got the 18x18x18 though. Did you call any Petco's or other stores to see if they were clearing?

Petco is but they have really limited models, the 18x18x18 and 12x12x18 only. And the clearance price for the 18x18x18 is 79.99...

Wow I guess I got a really good deal. Sorry you're not as lucky as I am lol.

What are you using the little 12x12x12's for?

I have an idea that a lot of the superstores and online store are dumping a lot of the exo terra stuff. Ever since Hagen went with manufacturer direct orders only and implemented a minimum advertised price policy a lot of the online places are dumping them because they have lost the one advantage they have, namely being able to offer stuff dirt cheap. Now that they have to sell them for at least a certain price they have to compete based on quality of service and they can't.

They're telling me that they're getting something else in to replace them. Maybe those similar ZooMed tanks?
