Look at the sales in local nurseries and price them lower. It all depends on what types of plants you have.

Thanks. I listed the plants for sale in the post.

its the best way to guage prices. Roses can be anywhere from $10 - $50 depending to kind of roses. So that's pretty hard to determine unless you have something in your area to compare to. Plus, if your plan is simple to rid of the plants, its really a good idea to price things really low.

We have been approached by someone to purchase many of the plants that are at the house.

Not sure what you imply here, are you saying you are contemplating selling plants out of the yard of the house you now live in and are selling? If so, unless the plants were specifically excluded in the contract of sale they will be assumed to be part of the yard and there might be legal implications. Check with your realtor and make sure you can do what you are thinking of doing here...

That's exactly what she's saying.. so who knows how they handled the deal.

Plants that will be "destroyed in the rebuild process". You own a house in North Van where the land it's sitting on is worth $1-$2+ million and planning a tear down and rebuild at probably $200-$250/ft2. Why don't you let the tenants have the plants as a goodwill gesture...you weren't planning on keeping them anyway.

That sounds lovely but in reality that isn't our plan. If plants don't sell we will give them to family and friends. They offered to pay I was simply asking for pricing ideas.

I should have added that unless you are digging them out for them, the plants you're describing are worth $0-$20 each....probably on the lower end because you've only got one buyer (landscapers won't be interested in salvaging your stock) and they can go to a big box store, costco, or art knapp and get potted stock (no transplant shock, no hard graft digging them up) for $25-$45.

I'm sorry, I must have have misread "The plants will otherwise be destroyed in the rebuild process"

No you didn't misread. That is exactly what I typed. My point was that if I was giving things away and not selling them I would rather them go to family and friends. If family and friends don't want them then yes they will be destroyed in the rebuild process. Thanks for your take on the monetary value...as that was the actual question I asked.

I agree, the labour of removal will negate the resale value, so if family don't want them then I don't see how you will sell them. I would do something in lieu if it were me.

J Williams someone has already offered to buy them. I was just trying to suss out the price.

"That's not at all what I'm saying. I'm the owner of the house. We, the
owners, can sell whatever plants we want. The current tenants, who rent
from us, asked if they could buy some of the plants. We said yes and
now need to agree on price. The plants will otherwise be destroyed in
the rebuild process as the house positioning is changing dramatically.
Thanks for assuming the worst though! Go internet."

Hello Alison, I believe I may have unintentionally caused offense although I still don't understand how. My response had been yes, its your intention to sell the plants. That's all. Don't read anything more about it. that guy was simply trying to warn you of a common error seen in real estate about outdoor plants.

ianna my comment was in reference to what Pieter said although you did agree with him. Both of your comments were rude to be honest. Not that it matters but we sold the plants for $300 so clearly they were actually worth something.

Hello Alison, I'm more than distressed to think that was rude. I've no qualms about you selling your plants and in fact pointed you to how to go about pricing them. I still cannot see it but since if offended you, my sincerest apologies.

Above is your reply to Pieter.
