Going price?

[prison police]

Whats the going price per polyp for VDM's and Spidermans???? I know they can be hard to get and the price can be crazy....but how crazy? Thanks all

I've seen VDMs go for $50 per polyp. Around where I'm from, majority of the people here had their VDMs melt on them. I'm one of the lucky ones. Hehe

I bought a single polyp of VDMs for $25 and then a DM polyp for $25! The VDM made it and looks okay, but I don't know if its going to make it and the DM looks like its melting but Im a gambling man and with these prices how could I go wrong for trying! Spidermans I have no idea. I don't think that they would go for too high though from some of the sales that I have seen.

varies depending on location.. i've seen vdm's for $20-25/polyp over here.. spidermans are super cheap over here compared to what i've seen elsewhere, like $3-5/polyp

 

[Guygettnby]

the price all depends on what your willing to pay for them. plain and simply that. i bought mine for around $8- $10 a polyp for my VDM's my spidermands i paid less them $5 a polyp for. so again if you are willing to wait the deals will come around on them. but if your the kinda person who cant wait then i guess your gonna pay these stupid prices.

I say go on the propagatedcorals for sale forum here, you'll get some at a better price than you'll see with a onlinevendor or LFS.

I got a single polyp of VDM for 35 .

I have both VDM's and Spidermans, I am asking because I want to sell some at a swap but dont want to look stupid asking real high prices. I dont want to rip anybody off and I dont want to get ripped off myself.Anyone know about Ding Dangs?Thanks for all the responses.

VDM's....grew 6 polyps within 2 months !!!!!!

Spidermans

Ding Dangs

 

[ed102475]

If you feel 25-35 per polyp is a fare price for your VDM then get it.
I think 30-40 a frag for a 2 polyp frag would be what I will charge If mine grow well . Your ding Dangs do not look like what is on Zoaid.com Still nice . Spidermans I can get 5-6 polyps for 30-35.

 

[650-IS350]

Don't you have an option to make deals in the swap?

 

[prison police]

yea, i would have an option. I just dont wont to rape anyone or get raped myself. I just want to get the "going" price for a zoo and not insault or be insaulted by other just because of a price.Thats why I am asking you all.....to save heart ache while trying to enjoy myself at our swap.Thanks

 

[650-IS350]

I'd think $20 per polyp then the more they get it gets discounted or addition of freebies of other cheaper polyps.

 

[amore169]

I seen them also around 20-25 a polyp.

To be honest, I hate these stupid names and retarded prices. Sure they look cool, are kinda rare so what. I got into this HOBBY like many to have fun and relax not make a dollar outta 15 cents! Go to the swap, have fun sell them for a few bucks, maybe you will inspire someone else to do it for the fun. Hey who cares give a couple to the new guy to get him started. Never know maybe he will get something really nice or rare down the road and hook you up too! Personally I will never sell a coral frag for more then I paid for it to begin with. Heck I gave away some Lunar Eclipses before anyone around me even had them (to my knowledge). I got a good deal on them, they grew so I hooked the guy up who gave me my 1st corals so what if they were no name plainer then plain green zoas that most wouldn't even pay a dollar for 100 of them. If you want to make money on them open a business and pay taxes on it

Rant done, have fun keeping the cost of things in this HOBBY up BTW alot of these polyps that people think are rare aren't that rare many have been around for years and sold cheap because people used to get into this hobby to enjoy it not turn a profit

America was founded on this type of thing... get over it . sale what people will buy , If you charge to much they might not buy or You will give yourself a bad name . It's up to you , set your price and try to sell them adjust the price as needed . Profit is a ugly word unless you are the one profiting . I am by no means a property investor but I would not sell my house for just what I paid for it , I would pull a PROFIT as I am sure most would do .
Make what you can Play the market as most would do . JMO
