One of the low-cost web-sites here in the UK says 24.75, which makes about $50. There's no indication on size, which usually means "small". Shipping would add around $20 on top of that.

So if yours isn't tiny, the price isn't far off.

Hi!

Well it first depend how much the seller paid for it. What is the size of the fish and finally how much are you willing to pay at the maximum for this fish...

Cheers
