It is important to realize that the price you get for your acreage must be negotiated by you for your own piece of the Marcellus pie....but if you are going to wait around for $20,000 per acre, you may price yourself out of the play completely.  Mike Knapp is correct in his explanation of this industry.  We have not seen prices anywhere near $20,000.  But be aware that it may be cheaper for a company to bypass your 100 acres and develop next to you or in another township. 

There are only so many rigs, only so much capital and in my 30+ years of working in this industry, I have yet to see every piece of property drilled and produced! (except in Indiana county, PA  LOL)  That was a joke because of the number of shallow wells drilled there.

So just because you have acreage doesn't mean a company will lease at any cost.  I am just telling you how it has worked over the past 30 years in this business.
