Shipping??? Use a local reef store to ship.

I am looking to leave the hobby or slow down a great deal. That being said, I have corals that I want to sell but I don't have the equipment or skill set to pack and ship my corals. Has anyone used a LFS to ship their corals? What kind of a payment arrangement for the LFS would be appropriate? I would think paying for their costs, time, and services would be appropriate, but how much.

You may be better off selling directly to the store. A lot of them are happy to take in aquacultured livestock.

I considered that idea. My issue would be with pricing. I have asked the owner of one of my LFS if they would be interested in buying corals and he said no. It is weird he will not buy corals because he always has different used tanks and equipment for sale.
