@ 14 Inches its supply and demand, it is rare to find a Black Nasty at this size for sell.

I would pay $200 for it.

When buying large fish I try to get'm no more than half grown. If not I might be paying a lot of money for a 10 or more year old fish.

Seems kinda high to me. But like others have said, there aren't too many 14" fish for sale. I'd buy a smaller one for 1/10 of that or less and grow it out...

I'd pay no more than you'd think the life he has left in him is worth. $275? F no! Seriously, $75 would be about right in my book.

He could live another 10 years, how do you know the average life expectancy of a black nasty?

it really comes down to whether you want it or not. If money isn't the issue, and you really want the fish, then go ahead and buy it
