What do you guys usually see 7", nicely colored female lents going for? I have one in the store originally from Rapps by way of a good customer who is a member here.
 
I have seen them online selling for 80.00 - 100.00 bucks
Just recently someone was selling one on Aquabid starting at 10.00 but
I don't know if he had a reserve or what they sold for.

$50 to $75 seems about right.
 
O.K., Let me rephrase my question LOL. What do you normally see them RETAIL for in stores? LOL
 
I have never seen them here or around the St. Louis area.
I know there is a community vendor who has them right now for
49.99.

I got mine for $14.99 but I wouldn't price them that low. ;)

If I had a store I'd list them at $74.99 to start with and then place them on sale if they did not sell relatively quickly.
 
Its better to get them online, as retail stores jack up the prices from the price they get them from the venders. For example, lents from Rapps might cost you around $75...but get them from a LFS and they are gonna cost at least $90 and up. They have to make some profit, plus the cost of shipping. So if its less than $100, consider yourself blessed.
