A freebie OBT. Which is becoming my fav T, with its webbing, and tunneling under the substrate between its hides and it attacking crix from under the ground, awesome T.

Also, my friend gt an adult female H.mac for the 15 bucks from this idiot vendor at a local expo. This vendor has stock thats in horrible condition, he always has Ts that he doesnt what they are.

Good for me, but bad for the T. I bought an adult female S.rubronitens off of him for 20$. I guesse that also counts as an awesome deal.

I just paid $10 for a 3" H. maculata at Repticon. I think maybe at the same booth as you, Endagr8. The one with the GuangXi traps and the scorps under blacklight and the way overpriced WC Haplo's?
That's the one! I don't think I would have gotten so lucky if I hadn't paid the extra $2 for the VIP pass and showed up right as the doors opened. She was the only one of her species that I saw available that day. :D
Tell me about it! :)

I just want to hear amazing deals that you T lover's have got. As for me, I got a 4" G. pulchripes for $20 back in February, and today I picked up a 5" pulchripes and a 6" LP with their enclosures plus heating mats for $70. Awesome day I had today {D So what's your stories?
One thing I'll never forget a year ago was when a pet store owner offered me a 4 inch female H. Lividum for 40$ and I said "no thanks" because I didn't feel ready to handle "Old world's" :wall:... I would have said yes in a flash if that offer came up now! Sometimes you really shoudn't think too hard about those deals that come along :p...

My best deal was from a member on the boards getting out of the hobby in January, I picked up a 1.25"" Pamphobeteus sp. "South Ecuador" for $15 and ended up getting an OBT sling and an N. chromatus sling as freebies. The Pampho is already a little over 3.5" and in heavy premolt. I'm thinking it might be male since it's growing so fast like my male LP. Haven't been able to sex any molts yet to be sure; but I definitely wouldn't mind if it did end up being male since the colors are insane.
