    I was asked if I wanted to sell this Aussie acan lord and I'm not sure what a fair price would be. I think I paid somewhere between $60-85 for it over a year ago. It's got 25+ polyps. What do you think?

    I'd say no more than what u paid..

    Even though it has more heads, it is still kinda normal.

    Rainbows are the rage now lol!

    +1 I think you could get somewhere in the range of what you paid from the right buyer. Unfortunately for you, acan prices have dropped a massive amount in the last couple of years, so anyone who bought one two years ago gained little or no growth equity since then.

    If you have the ability, fragging it into smaller more affordable frags could end up getting you a lot more money.

    Where are you located? IMO location has a big part of price. If your in Australia an acan would cost very little, on the other side of the earth it cost triple the amount.
    I would pay $125 for that thing:love:
    HTH:)
