How should I approach this?

I have been wanting saltwater but I have no knowledge of saltwater besides what I can find online. I’ve never taken care of saltwater. I saw someone selling their established tank on fb market place for $400, Is this a good deal and how difficult would it be for me to move this aquarium to my house? The description from the seller is:

“Open reef rimless tank, currently running salt water comes with everything ready to go. 62 gallon plus bottom tank and cabinet Fish and rocks are included. Must bring buckets to break down and to put fish in. Will be heavy. Has Reef Octopus skimmer, Dual sensor auto top off w/5 gallon Auga gases hydro fill reservoir, hydro reef light, finned heater controller, Dc pump controller dep 4000. I also have more live rocks. Bucket of salt And more.”

If I decide to move it, how should I approach the situation?

If you can grab photos of the tank that would be beneficial...

All in all it's probably a good deal.
That being said the lack of experience causes me concern for the animals wellbeing etc.
You're going to need a lot of buckets and it would be best if you had fresh saltwater ready to go at your location etc.

Do you have anyone local that can teach you?

I have a lot more thoughts on this but let's take it step by step first :)
