Seedling
My first time getting seeds from my flytrap. Whats the usual rate to sell seeds at?

The seeds are an unknownn type to me, because the plant was bought as one of those generic store ones. Added a photo in case you can ID it.

If they're just generic seeds and you didn't work hard for them, it's more of a giveaway. But you can look around and see how much they cost on various websites.

Whats it mean to "work hard" for the seeds? would that mean like cross breeding or a rarer hybrid?
 
When I've had VFT's go to seed, they just did it on their own and it wasn't much effort to collect them or mail them. Plus a lot of people get VFT seeds and give them away or sometimes offer them for sale for a modest price, say maybe $3-4 for 20 seeds (just off the top of my head). But as you say, if I made an effort to cross pollinate two interesting VFT's and made the effort to avoid selfing them, perhaps people might pay $5 for say 10 seeds (with shipping included) and take a chance on something new. Also it depends if the amount of money is important to your budget. All very subjective. And then there's the love and adulation you will get from giving away stuff (if you can afford to). Priceless ;)

Oh yeah, I was just thinking of selling like 10 cents per seed. so yeah with postage probably like 3 bucks for 20 seeds. Not looking to make mad money, but just a lil extra pocket change.
