I have this reef rock, which is 5 lbs, and 5 good size hairy mushrooms. I'm looking to sell it but don't know how much.. the mushrooms are from 2"-4" in size, the largest is about to split. The second photo is the tank with the colony where those came from.
How much do you all think I should sell it for??

That's some rock with nems :eek:

First off are you trying to sell it local?
If not then you need to realize that you have to ship it, that size you looking at a fairly large box that cost you close to maybe $100 just for shipping.
What the mushrooms are worth I have no clue but I believe the value is less than what shipping will be.
Just to throw a # out here say you can sell the mushrooms for $75 + Shipping looking at $175 and the cost of a insulated box and heat pack maybe $10 so for a total of $185 you should be good.
Problem is that ppl don't like to pay for shipping and in most cases hobbyist who sell corals here have a some kind of free shipping if you buy more than say $300 of coral.
I hope that makes sense.
So my best bet is that you can get it off your hands locally.
Nice and huge mushrooms though.
 
I'm not sure on the price for the group, I purchased one large hairy for $50 (looks like what liveAquaria is selling them for also). Hopefully you can sell local, Id hate to ship that with rock and water weight.
 
Yea I do not want to ship at all! I don't have a FB so a buddy is going to post them for me. I started out with one, half dollar size shroom. The colony has no smaller than 6" shrooms. The whole tank is nothing but shrooms. It's the prop tank. I was thinking locally 175-200 for it. I'm putting that together as dry reef rock is 6$lb so figured 8$lb for mine. Then 30 a shroom cause of size. I paid $25 back when for mine, qtr to half dollar size.
