I'm just trying to save you the trouble. Do a search for "whining" and you'll find a thread just like this one.fscorpion said:

Well, first thing that comes to my mind when I see that price is to be suspicious to all other prices. I would think that all other species could be found cheaper and that is what we are all looking for, right? So, no one here would pay 750$ for that scorpion, a few of you would even pay 50$ but you say that selling at that price is ok. If some fool comes and buys it then its his fault! Well, I don't agree...I think that when you are selling a common scorpion (and I am not saying this is that case) for a high price to a person that doesn't know it is common (and you know that person doesn't know that) you are not morally correct. In this case this scorpion is called the "
holy grail"! Why it would be called that way if not to make its price higher!? BTW, no one agreed here that is the holy grail of scorpions...just some thoughts...

Funny thing about the term "holy grail"... <edit> uses that to describe the Tityus sp. he's selling & breeding
.
If I had to pick one, I'd go with the Tityus rather than the Het, but to be absolutely honest, I want a couple of those Apistobuthus pterygocerus... Now THAT'S a Grail...

My friend, just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so to is that "Holy Grail" of scorpions. Personally, I'd never pay USD 750 for a scorp, even if it is one of the largest in the world. However, that's me and the next person could easily consider USD 750 a small price to pay to own such a wondrous animal.
And, this should not be an insult to any working man or woman. We work to better ourselves and our situations so that we, too, may one day afford such things. It's the desire to achieve better that motivates us and inspires us to drag our tired and weary asses from the rack each morning at 3:30 am, all the way to the time clock at 6:00 pm - 6-7 days a week!
In the beginning, the Gods made life short and our desires plentiful so, between bills and car payments; clothes for the kids and a welcome night on the town with the wife or that special other, if you can splurge a bit on yourself in this life then by all means, do so! LOL

About a year or 2 ago, I saw some Apistobuthus pterygocerus for sale from a couple of dealers. But NEVER a swammerdammi. As is human nature, I just want what I can't have.darkeye said:

Did you even read my post? What the hell are you on about?fscorpion said:
I was saying that 750 USD is WAY TOO MUCH for any scorp, and that alot of poverty exists in the world, after somebody mentioned in so many words, "wow 350USD a month, that's bad". There are many people much worse off. Fact.
So what part do you not agree with? :?
READ IT AGAIN.

well in the next 5 or so years you might have some available in the US, between two of us here on AB, i know of 4 gravid females, so if all goes well, there should be LOTS of little swamm babies around!
its 2 years or so for them to gain adulthood i think, so that might slow things down a bit!
viva la Swam!
