What is my torch worth

[Waynerock]

A guy in town offered 100.00 for this Aussie gold torch. Is that a fair price on both sides or should I charge more or less? It’s two heads and gets pretty large. No shipping he is coming over to pick up if I sell. I am going to get another small one and grow it out. That’s what I gotta do if you have a small tank and like lots of different corals. Grow em up and send them into the world.

I’ve seen$125 for a single head

Just a quick Google search seems to round up $250-$400ish(WWC pricing) for a 2 head

$125 a head seems to be the norm as mentioned above

Is that an Aussie or an Indo gold torch? I was thinking Indo because of the longer/thinner tentacles.

 

[Reefbuds]

Its beautiful none the less. Love the purple and gold hues.

Hello,

Honestly, that’s kinda hard question because everyone has different values on their coral. I think it’s a gorgeous piece and would probably keep it. But here where im at I have seen them between 80-150. But if that’s the true Aussie I have seen them online for the prices mentioned above, and locally have seen them about 75 per head to 100 per head.

Nice piece either way 100 for 2 hea is a steal

 

[Waynerock]

Thanks guys that really helps. Makes me want to keep it, I might be able to move some stuff to make room. I love having a place that we can share and get help from one another. More places like this could learn a thing or two

Yea I've never seen one quite like it with the even purple and golden hue
Beautiful torch.

 

[Guttersnipe]

I wouldn’t sell that.

 

[Waynerock]

I wouldn’t sell that.

Roger that! Talking about selling it has made me really want to keep it I think I would be disappointed if I did let it go. money is money but life is unique

 

[Eddied316]

Or you could just sell 1 head and keep the other and grow it out

 

[Hemmdog]

They are 300 a head here in CA. I’ve wanted one for so long it’s just to expensive

 

[theKoolAidMan]

$100 for that would be the, "hey, we're both just casual reefing buddies, cut me a deal" price. At an LFS I would expect to see somewhere between $150-$250 for one like that with multiple heads. Possibly more in some areas.

 

[fishybizzness]

It's too beautiful for me to ever sell it if it was in my tank! Awesome job!

 

[Stickboy15]

Thats a steal, should be $200. I say cut it and sell a head and keep a head to grow out

 

[saltwaterpicaso]

online 1 head is going for $250 I would not sell it for that price I think 175 a head would be fair. in all reality I would not sell it I would grow it and frag it here and there the golds always go for more

 

[Stickboy15]

where did you get your torch

 

[Aaron Hobaugh]

Looks like an aussie torch to me. I have one very similar I got from WWC. I wouldnt let it go, I would cut it and sell a head for $100 min.

 

[ccurnick]

I would say sell it at the price that it will cost you to get the new smaller one you want. That way it seems like an even deal.
