IN YOUR HEAD
an lfs by me has 3 leis at 2-2.5" for $250 each...is that way to much or about right...they also have 12" blacks for $300, 18" blacks for $400, 3" jars for $40 and 6-8" silvers for $100...others are for fyi....they said they would give me $50-60 for a 2' silver....then i think they would sell it for $200
 
Seems a bit high.. I guess it depends on where you are.

Richard at Infinite Aquatics brought the lei's in a while back for $65 or 80ea. He had silvers for $15?
 
i got my silver for $10, my jar for $40...looking at that small of a fish for that much just kinda cought me off gard...i didn't think they were that much...i am in mn
 
rich(infinite aquatics) use to get em 3"-4" like $80
 
if you want them beautiful, almost show worthy their gonna cost some dough..but then again certain LFS pay for certain things like shipping or knowing the whole supply/demand thing.. if someone wants it they will spend it.. but only we know the good places..lol
 
From what I heard recently, it's costly to import them, so it's hard to predict the price

this lfs is also a whole saler and they know the market....they also have good deals on shipping from countrys of origins...ex. the owner told me that some of the africans cichlids he gets in are 4 fish a box and a box runs him like $60:eek:...$60 from africa to minnesota...hell i paid $45 to go from ohio to minnesota...africa seems alot farther for $20 more:screwy: s.o.b's...i think i will have to vacation in jei country and acidentally forget to mention what is in my carry on luggage...
