How much would you expect

Post by pictus_man_77 »

to find a 7-8 inch Pseudacanthicus Spinosus for?

A customer brought one into our shop, and we're not sure how much to sell it on for.

Cheers for any help,
Ollie

That's a hard question to answer as any fish is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. That said, i've seen something similar for (i think) about £45, but whether that is good value or expensive i couldn't say......

Around twice-three times what the shop bought it for would normally be appropriate.

If it was given to the shop it should maybe be sold rather cheaply. Like 15£ maybe.

Here in Holland, something like that would cost between 50 and 80 euros.

I don't know if this will help, but I just bought 3 L273s (Pseudacanthicus Titanicus) for 80 US dollars each.
