It depends if you're selling to a hobbyist or a breeder. If you have pictures of the spawns, and they are a good breeding pair then fair market value to a breeder is about $150 for True Percula clownfish. False Percs (Ocellaris) are easier to get breeding, and will breed at a younger age, so they are worth less...about $100 to a breeder. Of course, you need to be able to show in photos and documentation that they are a good pair. Many people would not pay these prices unless you had raised a batch of fry (the true meaning of "proven pair").
To a hobbyist the fish are worth significantly less. A breeding pair of True Percs to a hobbyist would only fetch $60-100 depending on your location, and Ocellaris only $40-60. You can usually ask "full retail" for a breeding pair to hobbyists, where a non-breeding pair would fetch about 50-60% of retail pricing.
