serious? i can get them for $140/12"...... steve, i'm sure, could get them cheaper... the fish pimp that he is! :ROFL:

That is cheap for that size.

Won't find them that cheap too often.
 
Cheapest i seen them go for here in Aus where they are natives is $80 for 6-8".

At wholesale they would be going for $30 to $40
 
They are not rare, just rare for you in the states. over here in Aus we pay maybe 100 - 200 Aussie $ for a 4 inch leichardti, but we pay about 600 Aussie $ for a silver aro the same size. We think a silver is rare and difficult to get hold of but its the opposite for you. Its the same for knives, a clown knife costs 200 Aussie for a 2.5 - 3 inch fish, how much do you pay for your knives. They are rare to us because we cant import them to this country. Infact a jardini is a rarer fish than the Liechardti. The fish might be rare in one place because of import/export laws but common in other places. An alligator gar that is 2.5 inches long costs us about $550 minimum. how much do you pay for garfish?
 
damm thast pretty crazy with all the laws and stuff how it can affect our money!... but still i want one!!!!
 
are those your fish in your avatar ThisIsTong? over here that datnoid is about 600 Aussie $ for a 3 inch, and a motoro ray (not the same as that one in the pic I know) with a disc about 3 inch diameter is about 1200 Aussie dollars!!!

I dont even want to know how much that large dat is worth here, its just impossible to get one more than say 5 inch.
