Cost of Hairy Puffer?

Post by Terrance »

What a reasonable price for a hairy puffer?

I saw two of them. One of them is in stock at LFS for $70 and I saw another one elsewhere LFS for $100, both price before sales tax. This is more than twice as much as I paid for my congo puffer. Pufferpedia just says its "expensive", but I had no idea what expensive meant until now. If I get hairy, then I'm paying fair market price around $70, right?

I also know of a third hairy 150miles away for $65 with no sale tax.
Kind regards,
Terrance

$65 sounds like a good price. I'd pay more for one with lots of skin tabs. The hairier, the better!

How about arrowheads? I saw two 4inch for $50 each. Does that sound right?

Most of the time I see them here around $20-30. It all depends on how available they are to you & what you're willing to pay for one.
