    Hey everyone,

    I have 4 corals that I was planning on taking into my LFS store for cash. What do you think is a reasonable price for them:

    Bright Teal Chalice coral (5 in diameter)
    Yellow Scroll Coral (3-4 in diameter)
    Brown mushrooms (about 4 on a large purple rock)
    Green skirt/center zooanthids (20-30 on small branch)

    Thanks

    Peter

    Just keep in mind a LFS will not give you that much as they can get the corals real chep and jack up the price hence why they are in business. You would be better off trying to sell them to individuals to get more money.

    Maybe $100-125 for the lot. They will probably sell them all for more but I think you may only recover that amount.

    i would say try and figure what you would pay for the same pieces in that store and divide that by 2.

    You think I could honestly get $100.00 for everything? I guess anything is worth a shot, I just need to make room for my blue tub zoos, joker palys, and bullseye mushrooms :).
