$54 plus tax for my female Acanthoscurria geniculata. That included the enclosure she was in.

Wow ten yr old zombie thread!

 

[xTimx]

185 for my 3" xenesthis sp. blue, unsexed, but will try and confirm this upcoming molt.

 

[Arienette]

the most ive actually spent on one T was my female B emilia, $50
my female P scrofa was $30
my female P regalis was $10

my boyfriend bought me some spendier slings for Xmas this year though.
he paid:
$40 1" B smithi
$40 A diversipes
$35 A purpurea
$25 A metallica

£65 (around $104 according to google) on a ungendered adult G Pulchra that I recently confirmed female from molt. I also spent £70 on a nice fancy tank for her a month ago but that's another story.

 

[sugarsandz]

$100 for a female B. smithi and $40 for a B. boehmei sling

 

[MarkmD]

I've paid £50 for my P,regalis and £55 for P,ornata, I wouldn't pay anymore than 70 for any T, as I would get slings/juvies for cheaper.

 

[SuzukiSwift]

450元 for a 4" A.genic female, comes to roughly $60 american

 

[JeffH1972]

$150 for 1.5" E. olivacea

 

[Cydaea]

€50 ($66) for a 1.5" B. emilia. The store was having a 25% off sale on their animals so I think I got a good deal.

 

[taraction]

$200 for a young female m. mesomelas

 

[LuiziBee]

Okay. I finally bought what I wanted. I just spent $177 on a 1.5-2" M. balfouri. (139 + shipping and handling).
But I also got an N. chromatus for freeeeeeee.

 

[Tman86]

haven't done it yet, but after the new year I'm expecting to pay $125+ for a 1" Poec miranda.

The most I paid was $85 for a .75 inch Poecilotheria miranda thats including shipping. Ironically I got my 2 P ornata slings, P cambridgei sling, P regalis sling, and my P murinis sling for $58 for all 5 including shipping. It pays to shop around for deals you end up with more T's and more money.

 

[Crickeylynn]

I just spent $105 ($60 for the sling and $45 for shipping) for a B albiceps.

 

[Bast]

I paid $50 for our Rosie and OBT together.

It seems that prices for T's are pretty arbitrary, there are so many and large differences between dealers/breeders, pet shops and other sellers. A pet shop could ask $150 for a B. smithi, while someone else would be content selling one for $50 or less as long as it's going to a good home. I have 6 tiny slings, 3 each of B. boehmi and B. smithi, that I got for about €4 each. In a year or a year and a half I could probably sell those for €50 each or more. I'm not sure i will though, because i get attached to them. i wouldn't sell my B. vagans for any price, I'm so attached to her. Well, still assuming at's a her because she won't let me have her exuvia.

The 'value' of a spider seems to be determined by rarity, popularity, size, gender and the seller's intentions, among other things.

And location/continent. In European Union the prices of the most expensive slings (e.g. Monocentropus balfouri, Poecilotheria metallica, Idiothele mira) are normally around 35€ (= 47 US$). Most other species (slings) commonly sell for 4-15€ (= 5-20 US$).

Megaphobema robustum 1.75'' for 26euro.

 

[QSCrow]

$115 on a female 3.5in P. Muticus local.
