An expensive sling?

[Bread]

Never heard of these guys myself, is it a typo or just rare?

They're pricey up here as-well a 1/2'' sling is on sale for 150 cad from its og $ of 200 cad.

There are a couple vendors on here with them for sale, yes they are for real. I think Joe Rossi is one that comes to mind.

For that price, I'd expect the T to buy me a nice house and toss burgers at me with some tongs while chatting to it's sackmates how cool i was

Unfortunately the link doesn't work,but i rrecently saw a post on FB, advertising Typhochlaena seladonia slings first instars, €500!

You can buy those slings for £34 less from someone else. I wouldn't call £84 expensive, though.

Well, funnily enough they've raised their price by £34 now lol. Maybe they agreed with TSS to raise the price.

I bought slings from them for £50 each - just a month ago.

Well if you think these are expensive look at Pamphobeteus sp. solaris prices

 

[SausageinaNet]

Saw them first in Poland. They are rare and therefor the price. If you buy them somewhere else you will get them around 60€ from what I have seen.

When P. metallica was hatched out in the USA, they were $400/sling. This Chilobrachy has nothing on them.

 

[Jeff23]

1/3" Theraphosinae sp. 'Panama' slings for $145 (would love to have some of these but no)
1/4" Theraphosinae sp. Honduras for $120
3/4" Thrigmopoeus psychedelicus slings for $275

Edit* USA Prices

Yup, just gotta play the waiting game for cases like these I'm patiently awaiting on the Harpactira pulchripes and Thrigmopoeus psychedelicus to drop in price, myself. Just can't justify spending like 2 months worth of groceries on a spider no matter how pretty they are

Harpactira pulchripes

This species was also about 400 at one point. In about a year or two, it dropped like a rock. You can get them for $99 at times.

 

[truecreature]

Hmmm that's tempting, thanks for pointing that out. I might wait around some more and see if they ever get down into $60-ish territory

Do you know where??

In the U.S, I mean

It seems so reasonable until you put it that way!

 

[Andrea82]

Price of a 2FH sling dropped from around €150 to around €65 over here. Apparently this species isn't hard to breed, i see more and more breeders getting these in stock. I imagine the price will drop soon in the US as well.
