What do you think they're worth?

I need to get rid of some fish and was wondering what you think these two Heros Notatus are worth? They're 6-7" long and I believe they're a pair. They've never spawned but have gone through the actions. I don't think they have enough room and are in a tank with a bunch of fish. I've had them for about 2 years. If I trade them in to a local fish shop I will only get half of what they would sell them retail. How much are they going for at a local shop? What do you think they would go for if i sell them privately?

Thanks for any information.

At 6-7", my guess would be somewhere around $25-30 each. Unfortunately, going through the motions isn't enough. A pair can only be sold as a proven pair if they have laid eggs that have reached wiggler stage. Anything less than that is just two fish that may be a pair, but can't be proven and can't assign a pair price. Well...you can, but you are going to have upset people in your door if you sell them a pair that turn out to be two of one sex. If you can house them in their own tank and see if they breed, I would estimate $75-90 for a proven pair.
