price of a fire eel

[KaraJo]

There is a fire eel at the LFS here that is about 13-14" long, they had a bunch of them and only one is left. They want $49.99 for it. would you say this is a good deal at all?? I didn't think so, so decided against it, but my boyfriend has wanted one for a long time and this is the biggest we have found them around here.

Sounds okay... a little high. Around here 12" for 30$.

 

[fishfobia]

if he has wanted one for a long time then he will be happy that you got one

Its on the high side. I don't see them to often around here but when they do come in they are normally around $40.

We sell them for $80, but don't move many. I think $50 is fair depending on the rarity in your area.

 

[KaraJo]

they move pretty fast here...so someone must think its a good deal! I have some bills to take care of for the new year, so after that if he is still there, I may go back for him. Otherwise, I will wait until they get another shipment in of smaller ones that I can just grow out.

I PAID THAT SAME AMOUNT FOR MINE AT 8", SO I THINK IT IS OK.

 

[TCZeli]

seems good to me!

around here you can get 8''-12'' for $35

whether its a good deal depends on you and where your at if you really wan't it or if there rare then sure its a good deal around here its not bad a little high but not by much

so if you have the room then sure get it
