question about value of clams

[msd2]

I am kinda tired of my clams, they are cool and all but I want to trade em in or sale em off. Anyway I talked to the guy at the fishstore and he said he would give me 15 bucks for each of my crocea which are 4 inches in size and 20 for the sq. which is close to 5.5 inches. Seems a bit low, also was thinkin of just saling them at a local frag meet, what would be a fair asking price? few pics:

those clams at those sizes would cost a LFS about 35 bucks ea wholesale
at a meet.. i would look for around 60-70bucks ea depending on how nice you feel ... after all, the fellow hobbyist would pay that much or more retail

I just purchased a very nice blue 3" Crocea at my LFS Saturday for $39. If that helps.

Put them on ---- for local pickup or something, and see how high people bid. Or do the same kind of thing in the classifieds forum, start a thread and people can reply with bids. It's a thought.
Oh, and at the LFS I work at, we sold a huge crocea (like 8 inches across) for $120.00, and it wasn't even really colorful. Another thought.

I will buy #2 from you right now. Seriously. Email me and let me know if you are willing. I'll give you $50 plus shipping.
