Help with pricing a large planting stone

[BillsBayou]

"Texas holey stone" The price has not been set as of yet. I will not be shipping this stone as it weighs 74 pounds (33.5kg). The stone is 24" (60cm) across at its widest and the same length from front to back. The stone is approximately 8 inches high (10cm).

This would make a great base for a landscape planting. As a note, the man at the stone center said it was going to look good in a landscape and I thought "It's going to look good AS a landscape."

I have an idea of what the price should be, but I want to know what others think it should be. This would be a face-to-face transaction at one of the conventions here on the Gulf coast.

A second idea would be to carve a large piece of flagstone into a suiban to sell as part of a set. That would be another guess at pricing.

Then again, maybe it's a garbage stone. Let me know.

I bought a limestone rock of similar weight and holey-ness roughly 20 years ago for my saltwater aquarium for about $50. So, I’d put the price at whatever that adds up to when you tack on 20 years worth of inflation.

We used a lot of this in Houston but nothing this large - super cool piece! Rodney Clemons would probably geek out on this one. If it were mine I'd shoot for $250 but take as low as $120. It's just so tough to find the right buyers for this kind of thing, this size. Or, you could just keep it and muck some swamp plants onto it

Got rid of the aquarium a long time ago, but I’ve still got the rock.
