If it wasn't so high priced I would buy it, but I'm a sucker for long fins sometimes. It would only be really worth it to me if the color was nicer too. There's a long fin like this at a Dallas shop I passed on as well, it was a ZZ fader but pale pink and yellow, not much color either. It was about 3-4 inches at the time and they were asking $70. I offered half of that and they wouldn't sell it - this was Nov 2010. When we went down for a business trip earlier this year the store still had it, they dropped the price to $45, but the fish had an awful case of pop eye so I passed on it again.
