What's this worth?

dh350twin · Oct 14, 2015

Hey guys I'm not familiar with this type of coral I've never owned one and I was just curious what you guys think the going price for something like this is worth I'm thinking about purchasing it

Acanthophyllia normally fetch a pretty good price. If I were to guess I would say it's for sale for $650-$750. Just a guess though.

Also it's not from any seller on this forum

People will name any coral. I have seen names given to certain acanthos

Dude you're crazy lol.

I guess it depends on the buyer. I couldn't get $350 for this.

Never said I would pay that, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it at that price.

Let's make a deal!!!! What are selling it for?

kschweer · Oct 14, 2015

This one was listed at $600 here and I think the one in the op is nicer.

dh350twin · Oct 14, 2015

The one I showed a pic of the seller wants $200

Sorry man already sold to my LFS. It sat on R2R for a good month and no takers.

I'd say $200 is a decent price. I would pay maybe $125 for it.

kschweer · Oct 14, 2015

I would say so as well. In all reality anything not just coral is worth exactly what someone will give you for it. If you like it but it.

neupane00 · Oct 14, 2015

i wouldnt pay more than like 300-400. I have several equally nice or better and even locally from LFS i bought it for 350 each.

Lol your a hard core negotiator lol. I doubly I can get him to $125

dh350twin · Oct 14, 2015

So I know anything is worth what someone will give but is $200 fair, below fair, or a steal?

dh350twin · Oct 14, 2015

Plus are they easy to keep like scolys

Yeah. To be honest I just have no interest to buy it if the opportunity was there. Its nice. But $200 in my pocket is nicer.

I can get a really nice bleeding apple for $200

I am also looking for a nice bleeding Apple and the only way I can seemed to pick one of those up for $200 is if I buy a combo of scolys for $400
