Help me price this HUGE hammer colony

KonradTO · Aug 24, 2022

Here in EU price for an hammer (per head) goes around 20-30€. Torches start from 50€. If you buy multiple heads it goes lower.

Wow, thx for all the info. Just an update. I fragged the big guy. I was way off, there was 92 heads on that thing! Here are the new pics. As for the value of single heads much discussed here. LFS gives 15 a head in store credit where I’m from. While locals buy them anywhere from 20-25. From all the replies, I’m surprised to learn that larger pieces don’t command a premium. But it does make sense.

Dang. I must have been living in a cave................pretty much gave away two colonies for $30 (15+ heads) and $50 (+25 heads) last week.

$15 per head from LFS is not too shabby.

If You're happy with the transaction, and the buyer is happy, that's what matters.

Things can get heated over coral prices lol.

But general consensus and the first post with a realistic price nailed it on the head lol.

If you're placing those with the LFS for $15 -$25 to peeps, you're way undervaluing them..

Just sayin..

It's the pure size and price. Very specific buyers. It makes it a very hard sell. Lfs don't want to sit on inventory they want it to move. The longer it sits the more it costs them to keep it. You can prob place 5 or more frags in the space that it took up.
higher the turn over the higher the profits.
