Question about coral pricing.

[Alec Meacham]

Hey guys, im fairly new to the hobby still and was wondering what corals such as hammers, frogspawn, blastos typically go for per head? I know it can vary depending on supply and demand, but i have a frogspawn with 40ish heads and 4 hammers with 3 heads each. Here is the frogspawn, (Hammers are the color above) My LFS said they would give me $5 per head which is still a decent amount but do you guys typically sell to others reefers for more? I know if i give it to her for $200 she will sell it for like $350.

It varies from person to person. Some will sell them for $10 a head and other will charge $30 a head...for a regular green hammer. Anyways I think a good price is $15 a head

$5 per head is WAY to cheap. I am looking for a frogspawn and my lfs is quoting me $60 for 2 heads which is too much. I would pay $20 per head if you were local. If you could some how find out the wholesale price that would give you a top end price for sale to a lfs. Private sales are always better for everyone.
