I just bought 2 new WP25 pumps from Wingo at 4:30 this afternoon. I thought I needed 2 for my 80 gallon rimless and I was wrong. I'm selling the other pump, didn't even take it out of the box. Selling it for what I paid, $92. Pickup in Ridgewood, Queens.

I thought he was selling them for 70? How come these pumps have 20 different prices

Wow, beats me bro! I thought he was selling them for $88 actually and he told me today that this pump had to go through a different shipment process therefore the price was $92. I know a friend of mine bought one awhile ago for $88. Wingo also told me that the preorder price is $82 and the regular price is $88. I needed a pump and couldn't wait a few weeks so I bought it. I'm gonna be selling my 2 MP10's since I'm running a FOWLR setup now.

I just dont understand the pricing of them. One day on another site I saw the wp40 for 60 then it jumps to 130 the wp25 were like 40 then the jump to 110 at a lfs by me. Very odd to me

I hear you man, very frustrating. I've been looking at them for awhile but you have to order them directly from China and I was very reluctant to give them my credit card info so I waited to buy them locally. I could've bought them through Amazon Prime and have them deliver in two days for free for $85.

I think it has to do with the shipping. Shipping from China is very expensive sometimes more than the product. Usually on a preorder the price is so cheap because it is needed to get to a minimum quantity to either order or make it worth it. To shop just a few wouldn't be worth it. Also these have magnets which makes it even harder to ship I found that out when I did the group buy.

Well the alternative is the MAP from ecotech where they dictate what the price is and no one can do any better unless someones giving it to you at cost. It would be easy for them to slap a $250 price tag and that be that regardless of where you get it but in this day of cheap chinese goods its all about the shipping an bulk purchasing that dictates the price. If you buy less than 10 you pay the straight price which covers shipping from china and if you get in a group buy you end up paying nothing for it since the shipping is offset and ad the end of they day its probably 15 bucks worth of parts...

Anyway its not a terrible price and $4 aint gonna make a huge difference. For someone that doesnt want to wait for a group buy or 3 week shipping it's a great deal.

Thanks for the clarification, I agree on the extra $4. I didn't want to wait for sure, the pump is very strong and I like it so far.
