Parting out 210g tank in Knoxville, selling livestock first

Due to shipping costs, I’m only offering the livestock for local pickup. I want to do this so you can hand pick your corals. I’m posting pictures as a preview of what you can expect. I also don’t have a supply of waterproof containers to transport all of these so you will need to provide your own boxes and/or containers.

I’ll sell the rocks at $5 a pound, which as any of you know, that’s a heck of a deal for live rock with this much coralline growing on it. You’d probably have to pay $10-15/lb for this rock. I’ve weighed several of the rocks and I’ve had to estimate some of them because they were too difficult to get to by myself. Several of the rocks have soft corals growing on them. I’ve listed what I think is a fair price for the soft coral. Some of the pics in my gallery have a green 6" rule to get an idea of the size.

Here’s a list of what I’ve come up with:
Large rock with a few large green stripe mushrooms and a small group of yellow colony
polyps $110 ($70 rock, $10 polyps and $30 mushrooms)

Med-large rock with colony of 50+ button polyps $55

I have two med rocks with pink encrusting gorgonian $50 each ($30 rock, $20 gorgonian)

I have two med rocks with some type of red and green zoanthids $50 each

Med rock with small mushrooms and branching gorgonian $55

Spaghetti leather coral small $35

Orange cup coral $40

Large frog spawn $75

Med frog spawn $45

Small zoanthid colony $10

Large thin finger leather with some small mushrooms $45

Any other rock will be weighed when picked up and priced by weight.

I probably won’t be able to sell, let alone, catch the fish until most of the rock is gone. But if we can catch anything while you’re at my house, you’re more than welcome to it.

Fish:
Bicolor blenny $7
Damsel FREE if you can catch him!
Coral beauty (I think) $15
Spotted cardinal fish $5
Scooter blenny $5
Yellow watchman goby $10
Clownfish $10 he’ll eat from your hand

Please contact me via email so we can set up a meeting time. Evenings and weekends are best for me. I’m located near downtown Knoxville only a couple of minutes off I-40 exit 386A.
 
Lowering the prices!

Lowering the prices!

I'm going to be out of town for the next three days. In order to get the livestock sold, I'm going to reduce the price a little. I'll sell the rock at $3 a pound.

Also, I'm willing to knock %25 off the price of the corals.

I'll still try to check emails while I'm out of town.

Thanks for looking.
 
Sorry Mel, I spoke for them. I guess I should have posted in this thread. But anyway, if you want the bicolor and the watchman, they are all yours. I really want the coral beauty.
 
Oh that's fine Donny you can have them. Apparently the conversation he and I had last week about those fish has just flown out of his head.
 
Sorry about any mixups

Sorry about any mixups

I have only recieved one offer on the fish and that was from Donny. I don't have any emails from you EvilMel. Did you send them to utmetalman@comcast.net?:confused:

My memory isn't exactly a steel trap :D but I've only had two phone calls about the tank and fish. Everything else has been through email. Anyways, I'm not trying to pick sides, I just want my fish to go to good homes.

Thanks for looking!!!
 
You most certainly have a PM from me and I have a response from you on the 23rd of October. But that's fine...I won't take up your thread with this anymore.
 
Whoops

Whoops

Sorry guys and gals, I goofed on this one. I've sent PMs to EvilMel and Pandorian to straighten this out. Sorry about the confusion and delays.

Josh
