I want some of these soo bad.

Too bad theyre so expensive where I live.

[Tami Sims]

steve, how expense are they where you live? I paid $44.00 for the small one and $66.00 for the bigger one. I thought it was a little rich... but you know how that goes... HAD to have it :swear: :jaw: :jaw-dropp

$600 where I live LOL

Thats because im in Australia.

I will trade you 4 hi-fin sharks for 2 bull-rout :D

Tami, yours have more color than most. I read that there's more than one subspecies. The one commonly seen is a creamy-pink color, but yours looks like the rusty-orange type. I heard these guys are endangered but in recent years they seems easier to get. I think they farm-breed them now. Very cool pick-up! :thumbsup:
