I think the tetra is a little overpriced, people sell them for $10, and that is with 10+ workers. They are really common in most places

EDIT: I don't mean to be rude with this, it's just what I think. I know distribution varies. :)

It’s their choice, really. Some people hate tetramorium, some people love them, and that influences what people are willing to pay.

Well, yes. It's just I've seen most tetras sell for less :P

Maybe let the seller choose the price? And ant rarity varies from state to state, so you really can't dictate the value of ants that aren't in your state.

I think that’s totally reasonable. I’ve seen clowns selling Tapinoma sessile they dug up under a rock for $100 on GAN.
I sold a Tetra queen and nanitics in a custom set up on GAN for $50. The parent gave me double that out of generosity.
