How to value your livestock for tear down?

[NEFFx]

So I’m trying to be a little lighter on my feet and moving, without my tank. Sad I know, I’ve moved it 3x in 5 years. 240g, 210g, now it’s a 250x210 merge and it’s sad to let it go but life. Plus there’s two 50g lowboys full

It’s been all SPS and lost stuff along the way. I find Coral grows pretty fast for me or time just flies by.

Anyway, I’m wondering how to price this much stuff. And how much would you sell all the livestock for?
Do I…
1. Sell it to one guy for a good price (for them) and be done with it.
2. Piece it out over a few months to make more money.
3. I doubt I have the discipline/ ability to frag it down until nothing.

that's a beautiful tank and a tough question. The easiest would be selling it all in one shot, and it would be for a significant discount versus retail prices. Piecemeal is possible, but obviously more effort. Just do what works best for you, strike a balance between getting some value for your work and keeping your stress level low by making it easy.

Where are you located?

Gorgeous specimens and piecing out will gain more buyers and net more money. In addition, mention location and specify prices.

Thanks, I have it listed locally. Currently selling all livestock for $5k minus some fish going to friends.

Just plagued with value and probably worth about $20k if I were to frag it. But maybe that’s just imagination for how much these go for every inch.

If you have the time and want to make money fragging is clearly the answer.

I've talked with several people and selling large frags just doesn't bring the money they are worth in terms of the time it takes to grow them.
