Theyre between 10-13 eyes each, very large pieces of real Miami Hurricane chalice. How much do y’all think I can reasonably sell these for? I was thinking $75?

I think reefer to reefer that’s a very fair price. You could actually ask for $100 and I don’t think that would be unreasonable. I think I paid $40 for a two-eye frag a while back, but that was from an online vendor. I wouldn’t price it “per eye” like some of the really high-end rainbows; but it’s an awesome coral and those are awesome frags. I don’t know, as I’m typing this I’m thinking you should start at $100 and then maybe drop to $75 if you don’t get any takers. GLWS!

I think because they have been around for a while now, the prices have slumped a little. so I would think pieces that size would be in the $60 to $75 range.

That’s what I was thinking price-wise. I don’t want to rip anybody off but I also don’t want to low ball myself because this was a pretty expensive piece when I bought it. I did a little research and frags with 4-5 eyes seem to be in the $20-$30 range so I figured $75 is a pretty fair price because these frags are so large. Thank you!

When I am trying to figure out how to price something. I will search here on R2R what things have sold for recently. It’s a better way to come up with a hobbyist price. As far as matching online store prices, you are going to have a hard time getting those prices as you are just a hobbyist. Even then only the best of the best online stores with name recognition can get that top dollar.

I looked around on here and on my local forums, on the local forums pieces like this are actually about $150. I’m not really trying to sell it on R2R cause I don’t really want to deal with shipping for just one piece.
