I love them. I've picked up some really good deals at them.  One time, a 40 breeder and a 20g for $5!  That was the best yet! 
Happy hunting!

They were all in Columbus at the auction!  They had quite a selection that went for some really good prices.  I picked up 2 fives, a ten, a fifteen, and a 20 long for $42.  One of the 5's and the 10 are vintage Meta-Frame tanks with slate bottoms in great shape.

Dang.  When I go to garage sales all I find is a bunch of junk.  Congrats on the mower.

I love the metal frame tanks. Wish i still had one.
Growing up my parents had a 55 gal. metal frame tank, complete with the metal light and a aquaking filter

Good find on the Meta-frames! 

We need pictures of the grandkids getting pulled along with the John Deere.  Fun!
