It would be worth around $50 and at the most $60 for one.

i dunno... I mean it's nice, and I dare say cooler than the normal green (if we are to be subjective), but I still wouldn't fork over that much for it, personally.

wow!! that would be an awesome price for one of these considering most people who think these things should be cheap do not put in to consideration the expense of getting these type of things in.

Could you even imagine what the shipping ALONE would be from Australia? Crazy I am sure but hey what do I now maybe your right but I think personally anything that you see once a year or so....is worth having when no one else does...just my 2 cents though.

personaly i think there's 2 ways to look at his.
first, there's the hobby side. if you want this just too look at and be merry, not worth it.
then theres the buisness side. if you plan on selling every additional head of this, eventualy the thing could pay for itself and more

You pay more for stuff from Australia whether it's nicer or not. I think shipping or collection is more expensive...I can't remember. But Aus also has some of the nicest stuff!!

J&L has one thats kind of orange/pink for 69.95, not sure if its still available though, you could always send a pm to them on the vendor list asking for a pic.

It's more of price fixing by the exporters/importers. Most items that are sold as "rare" are not. The acans you see in lfs are common in Australia. Shipping from there is costly, true but its greed that is raising the prices to stupid proportions.

We've had them twice in two months and likely will have some more in another month or two and that's what we'd be selling them for unless price went up on them. There odd when you get them they don't look anything special (kind of drab) but color up really nice after they've been in your tank for a month or two.
