What would be a fair price for a 15" RBTA?

Macimage · 09/09/2012, 10:57 AM

Just curious what everyone thought a fair price would be for RTBA that measures 15" across.

I've sold smaller 4"-6" ones for $40-$60.

Thanks!

You got a picture of the rbta ? I would say 125 -175 fair. .haven't seen one that big in a while.. consider the restate you gotta have..

Thanks for the input. I haven't taken any photos for a few years, but here's one I took when they were smaller:

I'll get some new photos as they are covering the side wall on the left and the back wall now.

Joyce,

RBTAs are kinda common in SoCal right now (maybe I had something to do with that

), so a $60-$80 asking price is probably appropriate.

If you're shipping it to the middle of the country, then you might be able to get a higher price, but the shipping pricetag can be quite high (like $80-$100 for overnight delivery).

Hi Kevin!

Yes, I am sure you had a bunch to do with it!

Nice to hear from you! I've been in lurking mode. Might grab some of your xenia if you still have it.

I have a TON of it! Need a 10 lb rock with a hundred heads of Xenia? I've got it.

Lousy cellphone pic, but I had to take the picture from the top down, with the lights off (can't see into the tank much from the sides, and a bunch of pumps come on when the lights come on, so the surface is too disturbed for a good picture, but it gives you the idea of the amount of Xenia I'm talking here...
