How much should I charge?
I'm thinking about selling a Paly rock from my reef. It has over 100 polyps and is bigger than a softball. I'm not really sure how much I should ask for it. Any input would be appreciated. I'd like to sell it for a fair price to myself and the buyer...
Here is a pic I just took of it...

In my area you almost cant give green palys away. I would say around $40. Your best bet is to take them to LFS. They get more people in their doors and might give you $50 in credit, and sell them for $100.

+1 one on taking it to the LFS. When selling to local hobbyists I think the best practice is to find out what retail value is and then cut it in half.

The live rock is worth more then the palys I give them away all the time they grow like weeds in my tank.

If you frag it you will make more money that way.
I sold them for $10 for 3-4 Polyps a while ago.
