Threw away these acropora nasuta stags, as well as an equal biomass of montipora capricornis about a month ago. They were healthy. No pests or problems other than just being way too massive for my tank size and nobody even wanting them for free

I'd take free acros all day long. I'd pay for shipping, supplies, etc. Wish we had that problem here, I think most will sell to the LFS.We should start a freebie give away section. Recipient would just have to pay for packaging and shipping. I would do that for some stuff, like forest fire digis. I love those, but they don't grow well for me. Green, red, purple, etc are fine but not forest fire....
I gave away a bunch of zoas last month because they grew too fast for my tank. I would be willing to give stuff away. I know that GSPs, monti caps, some zoas and some mushrooms are frequently available but I am surprised people don't take acros for free.
Frogspawn ??Yep...I've done it since even the LFS aren't really looking to take stuff in. Didn't want to..but had to toss some heads of my frogspawn since it was overgrowing everything.
Sadly, I have thrown out a lot over the years. I used to try to sell stuff... but then only to get either scammed by someone who turned around....fragged the piece and then resold it for stupid prices.... or in a couple of cases... offered to sell it to someone... but then the person demanded "free shipping".... I kid you not. I have even stopped giving stuff away...again. I saw some pieces being resold. I had one guy ask me to drive an hour to "drop off the corals to him and place it in his tank"....otherwise he didnt want it. Again.... I kid you not.
Perhaps as you get your new marketplace running here on R2R... we will have the opportunity to trade and sell amongst ourselves a bit more / better. I hate throwing stuff away....
Funny I don't see threads that say, "Free corals, you pay shipping". Sounds like some "deep stuff" to me or else the price of corals would be going down. Had a motivated buyer send me the box and prepaid overnight shipping label for some corals he bought. That is why you don't see posts for any interesting free or super low cost corals; they don't exist.

@revhtree what about making a special section of the for sale section devoted to coral give away? make it free, and local pickup only? then people can peruse it to see if anyone close is donating anything interesting?
