lol

silvers are not bad around here all year round, 20ish for a baby. U.S$$$

jars around 60ish when out of season could be as much as 140ish

leichardti's never come around, but when they do its around 180-250, i got lucky n bought mine for 150 but had to make a drive for it.

blacks around 300

asians around 400-1000 but i'd never buy one here

Can't remember exactly what it was called red something albino but I heard in england it went for 350,000 pounds. Insane **** I tell ya.

Also is 120 bones for a 12" silver a good price?

Around here I can get 6 inchers for 50 bucks, not bad. I've seen small guys (just lost sac) at $15 US. I've only seen one black for sale at 8 inches for almost 200.

Well.. In Maryland people think they can get away with ripping people off. I can get a 2 foot plus silver right now for $75. I can get other silvers for like 10-15$ you just have to know the right people look on the mfk buy and sell.

Pat,

While you think our lfs are ripping off the consumer, are you aware of what our middle-men wholsalers are charging us? Sure we could drop the price significantly if we transhipped in 30+ silvers, but there is simply no way we could correctly house that many and there is not a large enough demand (nor enough customers with adequately sized tanks). I agree with you that they should be selling for less, and could be selling for a bit less, but there is not much we can do about it. How about you and some other MFK locals start a breeding operation to flood the local market with silvers and jars at a cheap cost?
