True pukani rock! Price to ask?

[zheka757]

I have about 150 lb of pukani rock I got years ago. Now just laying not used. What a fair price to ask for them, most of them are large size rocks. I had bumch of people pm me about them, but i dont know what to ask for discontinued rock.

Hi , i'd say get what your market area is willing to offer, myself ,dry rock is landscape material.
1.00 - 1.50 ? lb for that dry rock .

I'd agree with this. Doing a quick search, it looks like BRS used to sale it at $3.79 per pound. So used old rock, I could see getting $1.50 a pound possibly.

I'm sorry, for this particular rock, what makes it "being used" any different from original? Its being harvest from oceans floor years ago with bunch of decay material, and required curing.

It's dead, it's heavy, it will take someone lots of time and work to bring back live.

You certainly aren’t sitting on a gold mine or anything. I’d say pm those interested parties back and see what they will give you.

I would argue that OG Pukani rock isn’t available at any price these days. I wouldn’t let it go for cheap, IMO. I could be wrong, but scarcity is real.

Lfs has dead rock that they call live because its in water, lol.

Some of its cement and others are true live rock thats now dead. I look for the live/dead and then put it in my 45's sump. It takes about 6 months before it looks live.
Lfs sell this rock for $6 a pound.
I would start their and take offers.

$6 a pound is worth it to me but maybe not someone else.

Cut open a dead/live rock and a piece of manmade rock. The difference is that dramatic.

$4-5 per pound is what they are worth as they are no longer common.
