Selling Nucs out of season - Price question.

I'm growing a bit too fast. Catching too many swarms in my swarm traps. Trying to sell off hives. I'm thinking of breaking my 10 frame hives into 3 nucs.
How much should a nuc sell for in summer? Spring they command $120 around here with a known queen. But summer and a feral queen? Should I just keep splitting and wait for spring?

Nucs here in NE Ohio go for about $85. One I started at end of April had to be moved into a deep. I am putting a med. on top today as they have 8 frames drawn out. A guy nearby is buying it for $150.

I need to come see you as I have sold all my bees from Colorado to move here to Dallas. I am going through bee withdraws!!
I am trying to wait till I can catch a few free swarms this next spring but I do miss it. Will they produce any honey for me this late in the season? My first year hives up in Denver went hog crazy and gave me a few gallons right off the bat, but they were swarms too. Let me know I might be / am interested.

To bee or not to bee that is the question I wake up to answer that every morning...

I picked some up in the spring with frame exchange, supply my own box, 5 frames for $50.00 a piece, queen in cage included. At present, they're doing good.

Put an ad on Craigslist and see what happens. You never know until you try. I live in Indiana and I have a lady coming from West Virginia to get a couple of nucs. The following weekend, I have a guy coming from Illinois!! Folks needing bees now are out there!!
