Hello all!
I am looking for some help: I am trying to rehome my 10" Vieja Argentea and want to get an idea what he's worth... Can anyone chime in? They are not often seen around here, and those I have seen on the Internet for sale are all pretty small. Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!!
 
Yeah, depends on the market, and also if you can/will ship. But I'd say $100 give or take.....depending on quality also. If he's got a crooked spine, messed up mouth, etc... He might not be worth anything.

Post a pic, and we can tell you much more.
 
Well, I apparently can't upload a photo from my iPhone... I already have someone who wants him and am just trying to figure out a price to ask. Let me work on the photo upload...
 
In my area Ive seen some at the fish store around 7-8" go for around $50. Ive seen others in the 10" range go for $75. As a private seller I think you might be able to get $50 for it unless it is something special like a wild caught with a way to prove where it came from.
 
Kool specie! Sometimes, you just got to be open to trade. Otherwise, it may take a while for selling at prices over $50. But 9-10" is worth $75 retail IMO
