Red planet frag, how much????

[fishoholic]

Doug and I were having a debate on how much one should charge for a fairly small (less then an inch) frag of Red planet sps. Just wondering what would be a fair price? What would people be willing to pay for it?

[AquaPin]

I paid $20. I know of few people in the lower mainland that sell them regularly for $20-30.

I just gave away large 2" red planet frag.......it was either that or toss it out

Is less then an inch really a frag?
I want to hear more about the debate

Interesting, we plan on growing out the frag a bit before selling. I've heard of stores selling frags for $80-$100 and I know it once was a highly sought after frag and really rare to get. Maybe that's changed?

Marie why would you toss it out????

I paid $75 for mine 2 years ago from Oceanic. The last frag I took off it went for $10 and that was twice the size of what I paid 75 for. . The other frag was given to someone.
I guess it depends on your local market. In Victoria, I couldn't sell more than one of these in 6 months, and not for more than $10. SPS keepers in town, for the most part, are really tough to separate from their money. I have pink lemonade frags that I can't give away.

i just bought a 2" piece with prob 10 branches for $35 in town.

this coral grows like a weed it doesn't command the same price anymore as many have it...

Argentiner listed a bunch a few weeks back.

"Red Planet originally from Ocean Aquatics 2 or 3 years ago, $20"
These were for 1-2" frags
