It looks like a T I had , but it recently went to the great burrow in the sky.I was told it is most likely a H longipedum. Here is a link.

I'd agree with JakeR. -- Haplopelma sp. "longipedum" aka Cyriopagopus paganus. Often referred to as any of the following common names:
Asian Birdeater
Thai Birdeater
Vietnamese Tiger (or Earthtiger)
Vietnam Birdeater
'Edible' Birdeater
...etc.

Rippin' Deal!
Well, you got a rippin' deal! I've been watching a large (f) here since Christmas, but they won't come down on the $70 price tag. If I'm shelling out that kind of $$$$, it will be for another Pampho. I don't have a real great track record with Asians.
Nice T! Congrats!

$70.00 sounds more like a Chinese Earthtiger (H. schmidti). That much money for a longipedum would be quite a bit over their average 'going rate'.

I agree with Bill...
$4 is a steal and you can nurse it back to good health and be proud of the fact you saved it from an early demise.
Wow! That can't be the same species. I've seen them for anywhere from $15 to $30 at most. I agree with Bill, it's probably an H. schmidti (been on my wish list for a while).
