Fair price for rose bubble tip anemone?

airtime23 · 03/28/2007, 07:17 PM

My LFS has one for $70. Is that a fair price?

That sounds a little high but not by much.

seems like size and how bright they are determines a lot. Anwhere from $50-$100 is about right depending on those factors.

Thanks for the replies.

If it's truly colorful, $70 is more than fair. I typically ask $50 when I sell my RBTA splits, and I have a list of people in my local club wanting them.

$65 is the going price from local reefers in Phoenix. I just sold one a few days ago and had lots of requests for the next one.

I think that is fair. you can't buy one in the atlanta area for less than 100

arcab4 · 03/28/2007, 08:49 PM

that's a good price. i see them in my area for $75-100 or more.

You can find them for that in the selling forums, but that does not include shipping, depending how bit it is, I say go get it!

It really depends on the local market and availability. I sell my RBTA's for $20 to local club members, in line with what others have charged in the past.

I wouldn't pay more than 49.99 for one as they typically go for 39.99 around here.

The price of RBTAs have fluctuated rapidly over the past two years. What I used to be able to find at $39.99 to $49.99 are now in the $99.99 range or more.
