Buying pet supplies in Rochester
Rochester built its wealth on photography, optics and photocopying, and the companies that did it left the city an unusual concentration of precision engineering skill and a major museum of photography. Lake-effect snow here is heavy and reliable.
A tank full of water or a large crate is beyond what any courier will sensibly take, and glass in particular travels badly. Collecting means the thing arrives whole and can be checked before it is paid for.
What to check in person
Check cages and crates for bent bars and catches that no longer close properly, because a door that does not latch makes the whole thing useless. On a tank, look along every seal for perished silicone and ask to see it holding water.
Collecting it in Rochester
It needs a car boot rather than a bag, so agree somewhere you can actually stop for a few minutes. That is easier away from the centre than in it.
The road network was built for a considerably larger population than the city now holds, so crossing town is quick and a kerbside load is rarely contested. Lake-effect snow can arrive fast and heavy between November and March, so agree a fallback rather than assuming the day will hold.

Clean and disinfect it thoroughly and say that you have, because it is the first thing a buyer wonders about. Give the internal dimensions rather than the outside ones, and say what species it suited. Steady through the year, with a lift after Christmas and through the summer.
Peer-to-peer payment apps dominate private sales, and buyers will usually offer one before they offer cash. Sales tax does not apply to a private sale between individuals.
