Hi
For that price do yourself a favour and get few GBBs.
More colourful and full of character tarantula that is a must have for any collection.
Regards Konstantin

Ya your right but I'm very curious that are these species so rare that the price should be so high and are they worth it

It really depends where you put your value into. Regardless, for thousand dollars, nope.

From what I’ve gathered, that species is only worth what you’re willing to pay. If it’s that important to have one, then the price is low or high depending on how you value it. I agree with the GBB comment though lol.

If you want to ask someone that owns one, the only person I know of on here with one is @CommanderBacon.

It's your money, but I wouldn't pay that much money for that spider, or any spider.

I've seen them go for cheaper. If it was a female, I think you could potentially justify it. But too much money for me to drop on ONE spider.

Nobody can tell you the worth of something that you want. It's worth what you're willing to pay for it. For ME, there's no animal in existence of any species that's "worth" that much money.

outside of my pay grade and concur. You could get 3 AF GBBs for around that much

Rip off, I can buy 2-3 entire sacs of GBB for that price if it was local.

The “it’s worth what you are willing to pay” argument just doesn’t apply here. One thousand dollars for an A. mooreae spiderling is a scam. I bought 3 spiderlings from the first import to the USA from Mexico for less than that.

Agreed. $1k for any sling is a scam, imo.

I currently have two.

One I paid for $50 from mystery box event, <edit>

Yeah, I would never pay that much.

From what I can find, they’re worth £200 over here in the UK, <edit> . Doesn’t look like there’s any around here at the moment however. So... no, a grand isn’t worth it IMO.
