Thanks...But I have been debating selling these guys for quite a while now and have finally decided I'm going to do it. I want to start over and go planted with this tank.
How much are my fish worth?

Look into replacing the ballast and redoing the wiring. You could probably get away with a DIY repair for $20-$30.
Post pics of the guts of the light if you can.

Seriously, guys. I am just trying to figure out the price of these fish. I don't want to redo the lights, I don't want to buy new bulbs...I want to buy a brand new fixture with lights for going planted. I just want to know how much I should sell these guys for.

Lights are nothing. $6 for this one. If you want to sell the fish, are you looking for an excuse? Two of these will carry you for weeks/months until you find a fixture at a garage sale or on sale at an LFS. And once you find a replacement, you can keep these for years for the garage, basement, attic, closet, etc. I have one of these and it still works and it's 10 years old.

I'm not "looking for an excuse", like I said I have been debating selling them for a long time. And, the lights I want for a good planted tank setup are expensive and I do not have the money ATM, that was the final push for me to decide to sell these guys and start over new with this tank.
Your fish will survive without light, until you have money to buy an aquarium light fixture for your planted. I recommend LED, I've switched my tanks to this:

Its cheaper than what i was using and my plants are growing almost too fast.

This post is getting way off topic. I'm selling the fish, I just want to know what they are worth.
If you want to sell the fish it is hard to give an estimate because we don't know the market you live. Where I live unfortunately you wont get much of anything for them. Its hard to sell fish around here. Also just because they are bigger does not mean they are worth more. Actually the opposite is true most people prefer the babies because they can start with smaller tanks and grow them.
I am guessing $10 a piece for the Geos. Angels are so common maybe $5 a piece. Might get a better price on Geos if you are willing to ship and get on a site specific to geos or a place where there are allot of Geo fans.
You do have a beautiful set up I think that is why you have so many people offering advice for the lights.

Maybe if you post pics of what your stock, maybe then people can estimate what they could go for...
