Hey , this torch is available on ebay for a set price, I'm just unsure if the price would be overpay etc. I only really know the prices of grails and indo golds. Just wanted your guys' thoughts on the coral and the colour, to me it looks nice and bright, but I can't tell if the image is under whites, blues etc. Not really good at this as I don't take photos myself. Also an ID would be nice, it's just being sold as an Ultra Green, didn't know if it's similar to a Todd's torch? I have asked for more photos, but it's an ebay seller, they never reply

This is, to some extent, a personal question, which is to say "it's worth whatever you're willing to pay for it."

That being said, I feel like I've seen brighter ultra greens, many of which also have brightly colored tips, and the visible frag plug tells me this guy isn't that big, either, so I wouldn't pay that much for it. Others may have different opinions, of course.

Personally i have never found a coral i thought was worth buying if the seller cant bother to answer questions....no matter what the price.

Agreed 100% and given torches don't ship well, if the eBay seller can't be bothered to respond Before a sale, good luck when there's an issue.

I was more or less just trying to get an idea of the price for these green torches that's all, it's listed for 175 for two heads

Hard to tell but are the tips purple? I agree with @Lost in the Sauce on the pricing. I’d be hesitant if it’s any more than that especially off eBay.
The tips are purple, I just can't tell if it would be brighter under blues or if this is under blues, the picture's quite hard to tell but the sand looks fairly white
