That's more than unungy is asking for LDA 105 which is a much rarer fish. For size, its expensive. That being said, if it were a show quality specimen with scarlet and 7 points it would be another story.

Im not sure if its 7pointers or not, he's asking for deposit before I order it.. I also agree if it was for sure a 7pointer, i probably could justify spending that kind of money.

I would argue that quality in these animals is also determined by color and in my opinion, this is more important than 7 pointers. Many scarlets color is not all that striking although all are impressive animals. A 7 pointer without the color would still be over priced in my opinion at your list.

Alll depends on how bad you want one, they will live for a long time, they are very rare, they get large up to 18 inches, they are a nice conversation piece. If I didn't have an adult L-114 I would buy one.

I've been on a hunt for L25's, I just found out that I can order one from a LFS but I thought the cost is way too much for a 3" scarlet, they are asking for 350... is this fair?

I'd like to know how much you paid for yours, the size and your location.

I just want to compare, Thanks alot.
What store in Chicago are you talking about??
