Taking a break from the hobby, selling all my live stock

Sadly I am taking a long break from reefing to pursue other interests, this hobby as we all know, takes a lot of time and money and right now, I have neither, as well as a lack of interest in the hobby unfortunately. I thought I would post and notify my friends at MASC first since I have corresponded with several of you at Frag Swaps and MASC meetings and have purchased frags from the businesses of members. I live in Highlands Ranch and the plan is to sell my livestock first then sell the complete 55 gallon set-up, then empty out the closet of almost everything and sell that as well. Ideally, people would come over with bags and buckets or coolers etc., and pay cash for any livestock, and take the rock that the coral is attached to or break it off. The plan is this Saturday December 29th, but I get home from work around 5:00 this week for anyone who wants first come first serve advantage. Several of you would probably be interested in fragging a lot of what I have and making decent profit, or take the whole rock that the coral is attached to and add to your aquarium. We can negotiate, but I really would like to have some Return On Investment, so please no low-balling and let’s be diplomatic.
Please see the pictures, the lights are T5, I have the following corals for sale which hold the most value:

SPS- Montipora digitata, green Pocillapora, pink birdsnest, some other one, not sure what it’s called.

LPS- Blastomusso with 25+ heads, Dendrophilia with 12 heads, Duncans- large green with 50+ heads and a very cool rare (supposedly) purple Duncan frag with about 8 heads, 3 different variations of hammer corals and green & purple Euphillia, all with lots of heads that I could frag. Orange cup coral, a light purple calaustrea, and a large algae infested light green/blue Calaustrea (can be saved).

Soft corals- 6 Purple Rodactis Indionesis, bright orange zoanthids on 5 different rocks, green zoanthids, 2 types of purple Zoanthids, and 2 other very cool variaties of Zoas. Some red Palyothoa, green star polyps (the nicest fluorescent green I have ever seen)
Lots of other random mushrooms and xenia etc. on rocks that I will practically give away with a purchase.

I have to admit, I have neglected the tank a bit and there is some stubborn algae concentrated in one area smothering some mushrooms and softies that I’m certain will be of little interest to reefers, but most of the tank is algae free. There’s on rock where halmaedia algae showed up after 4 years. I would recommend some quarantining, and I’ll send you home with a few drops of flatworm exit.

Please feel free to call me in lieu of texting, I have an old school phone.

Do you have any rock that does not have coral attached? I am setting up a new tank and do not think it would be ready for the coral.

Hmm, right now the plan is to sell off the livestock then tear down and sell the equipment as a complete set up. Anything in particular?

Not really unfortunately at this time, once stuff starts to sell, I'm sure I'll have something, some of the base rock.

I'll probably sell the Bangai and Basslett back to the LFS and may keep the clown pair in a nano. Not sure, but the fish will be the last to go when all the rocks are gone..... the netting challenge.

how much is the whole hammer colony?
All 4 colonies? I could work out a deal, there's interest in the whitish colored colony from someone else, the other 3 are colorful, green varities. Probably $175 firm for the 3 colonies, there's over 50 heads total that I could see.
