I'm not sure if this belongs here, or where to ask this type of question? I would like to sell this locally and I know every market is different, but I'm looking for some help on what something like this would be worth. Its roughly a 6"x6" ball. Thanks in Advance

Would it be worth fragging up, and taking who knows how long to move each frag individually?

Do you know how many heads it is ?
IMO you’ll sell frags quicker than a colony.

Sorry meant to list how many heads in the post. Approx 50 heads
I have an offer on the whole colony, just want to make sure its a good price
 
What’s the offer you’re getting
 
From your picture, i can't tell the colors very well and they will have an effect but in my area, LFSs sell non-fancy branching Euphylia frags for $15 to 25 per head and give about 5 in store credit for them. I imagine you could sell them to hobbies the in the 5 to 10 per head range.

Around here, I think you could get a lot more if you were to frag it, but it might not be worthy your time.
 
I was at my LFS last month and he was selling green w/ purple tips hammers for $10 per head but gave discounts on multiple heads. I bought frogspawn for $5 per head at a recent swap. $3 per head for a large amount is probably fair and I know I would take it.
