Trading Corals to LFS

[spartanph]

I've had some really successful growth in my xenia and star polyps and I'm thinking of trading to my LFS for credit.
What are your experiences in doing this kind of trade?
Let's say a similar coral sells for $50 should what percentage should I expect to get back on the item? 50%? 75%?
Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Around me you would be lucky to get $10 for it.

Most likely no more than 50% of what the retail value is. That's how much the LFS would pay at the usual wholesaler.

Is there anyone from Michigan that might know the area LFS's policy's on this?

Same experience here. Bought coral for 50, traded the frags back for 10 a piece........it works better if you can bring stuff in that they don't have for sale, ofcourse. I brought in a bubble tip, got 10 for they sold it for 50.
