Costly

[hairmetalspider]

Curious.

What is the MOST you can ever paid for a SINGLE T?

I personally haven't gotten past the $100.00 mark yet...

60.00$ for a H.Minax female adult, yeah I'm super cheap. But those pokie metallicas are looking mighty tempting....

 

[cheetah13mo]

I know I'll get a lot of comments on this but it was worth it to me. It's one of my breeding projects and I have a steady amount of males at my disposal from Botar but here it goes. Go easy on me. lol

I paid 1500 for two adult female P. metallicas. 750 each.

If I get one egg sack, I'm looking at makeing thousands of dollars so as far as I'm concerned, It was a good investment.

Me, only $75 so far.

$110.00 for an adult female Singapore Blue. Money well spent. Just think... if I hadn't bought that spider, I could have wasted that money on food, or utility bills

Hopefully your investment pays off! That would be very, very cool.

$30 for a GBB sling. Most of my T's were less than $20.

 

[ChainsawMonkey]

$25! I paid $25 for a C. faciatum sling at around 1.25" Just now! I'm hoping this is going to work out, never had one this small. It looks soooooo cyuuuute!

 

[frtysxan2]

$24 for a P. regalis sling. evil elvis you thought you were cheap. although my girlfriend has been telling me that we need to get a P. metallica or two and that she would pay for most of them. but 27 tarantulas and the most i have paid is $24, that's cheap. hahaha. i just figured i would start out small and learn more before a got a ultra expensive T and killed it.

Oh goody, I'm not the only cheap arse on the forums.
Seriously, the most I've ever paid had just occured 10 minutes ago, in fact, for a short while I had an H. minax that someone GAVE ME! They started with it (bad decision) and got scared and pawned it off on me. I eventually ended up selling it because I got tired of getting bit. I was careful but it seemed like it would find a way everytime. I don't know how, or why, but it got me around 12 times before I finally sold it. It was my second T, my first old world, and I'm pretty sure it was my last old world...for now.

350=balfouri

 

[xhexdx]

$260 for M. balfouri.

Actually, wait, I take that back. I paid $400 for a P. metallica a year or so ago. I almost forgot about that.

 

[GootyGuy]

I paid $250 last october for a P. Metallica sling but i just ordered another one and that was only $160 so im feelin good.

 

[Steven Valys]

Just dropped 400 on a juvie female P. Metallica. Like Cheetah, I hope it works out in the end.

Im trying to break the $100 mark, but I cant seem to convince my wife to let me get another T...I want a P. Metallica so bad. Its actually a bit depressing.

Don't feel bad. The P. Metallica coming in Tuesday will be T number 16. The wife only knows of 5. I won't dare ever tell her how much the metallica, miranda, and subfusca cost, if she ever discovers these hanging around the house. I work hard for my money and it's nice to buy something for myself every now and again.

 

[Cocoa-Jin]

Well I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with one T...and it sin the living room. She'll certainly notice the population double. And I wouldnt know how to take care of the the "hidden" T without her noticing.

 

[SNAFU]

My 6" female C.Crawshayi was $95.00 (+25.00 shipping). I have'nt gone over the $100.00 mark either for a single T. Something to do with the whole paying bills, gasoline prices, and having a family thing....

 

[Rydog]

160 for my poecilotheria adults....money well spent.
