When you sell frags, how do you know how much to sell them for?

[SINNERMF]

I'm in a bit of a pickle right now and need make some extra money fast. SO I'm going to have to sell off some frags and make some. But how do I know what is fair to sell them for?? Some of the things I'm gonna frag I bought for $40 bucks a polyp. So do I charge what others are selling certain things for or be a "nice guy" and sell for less than half of what I got them for. I'd love to spread the wealth cheap but I need Funds ASAP! What do I do? Any input please.

Thanks for your time.

Wish I could help you out Mike. Usually when I sell frags, I always feel like I don't want to give it away, but I don't want someone to feel like I am ripping them off. That is the biggest reason why I usually try to trade instead of sell. The biggest thing with selling them is that we spend more money on the original frag than what it is selling for later on, nine times out of ten. The best thing to do is to throw them out there with what you think is a fair price, show some good pics, and see what happens.

I agree......it is a really hard but I am sure you aren't meaning to rip anyone off. Post them here first and if any one feels that you are out of line maybe they will have the grace to pm you and let you know.....

Ok I have a really good formula for this ok guys? Sinner You said you where going to frag something you bought for 40 bucks right?Well you take 40 you multiply that by 1.5 after you have that you divide it by 3 and the you subtract 9 and thats your answer. Oh by the way this only works if the the coral is fragged into four equal pieces. lol

I try and sell for less the lfs are charging. Also I look around to see what the going price is on forums.

So lets see some pics and prices.
