How much would be a reasonable price?

I've seen blooming Crown of Thorn plants anywhere from fifty to a hundred and fifty bucks
in a retail setting. Saw one red blown plant much higher that. If I had the one in the picture
and I was selling it, I'd asked $79.00 and would let it go for 49.00 and realize I live in
Oklahoma. New York mightbe a different market but i wouldn't add more than thirty percent.

If I owned a green house and sold plants for a living, I'd let it go for a low $139.95. Again in
Oklahoma. You must remember my advice is worth the same as it cost. :)

Ewww! A lot of people back in the 60s, tried smoking various substances hoping to find an alternative to weed that was cheaper and legal. :ROFLMAO:

I put it up for sale on FB Marketplace and Online Garge sale. I had more inquiries about this than anything else I've ever listed.

One woman said she wanted to put it in her classroom for her students to take care of. I asked what age the students were. She said 'first grade'. I told her with the sharp thorns it probably wouldn't be a good plant to have around youg children. She replied that she hadn't thought of that, I guess I talked her out of the sale.

Another woman demanded more photographs - like what? It's a plant. It looks about the same no matter what angle you look at it.

Someone was supposed to come yesterday afternoon and get it, but she never showed up. I PMed her an hour after the designated time and her only comment was "Sorry". Now what can that mean - Sorry I forgot? Sorry I changed my mind? I then PMed and asked if she wanted to set another time and she hasn't replied - yet.

Plants are a touchy thing.

Green thumbs have no problem visiting a nursery and spending $$$ on a plant, but when it comes to acquiring a plant from a strangers home, there isn't a lot of push for that.

If you were simply looking to offload the plant, Deb, I would offer it for free... for the taking.

Even then I suspect you may have a hard time seeing it out the door, because not everyone has the room for such a large plant.

Also the sap can cause a rash and on your skin and burns your eyes if you happen to rub them while it's on your hands (or gloves).

The woman that contacted me about it has now stood me up twice. She was supposed to come again this morning, but didn't. She PMed me an hour after the appointed time sayings that her husband got unexpectedly called into work. I asked if she wanted to stop by this afternoon and she responded that she wasn't sure because she didn't know when he's be getting home. I am giving up on her - just another flake.
