L600 value

Post by JayC74 »

Hi folks..Have the opportunity to purchase a 2inch L600. Was wondering if $100 was a fair price to pay. What is the average value in the US market for one of these at this size and maybe one a bit larger at the 5 to 7inch range. I might just holdout for one bigger if it's a smarter $$ purchase..thanks in advance for any feedback

That seems like a fair price. At the catfish convention last year, they were being sold for $55 for a 2-2.5" fish:

Thanks for the reply Linus. I ended up passing on him. If I was at the convention, I would of had to score a few of those at $55 though b-)

contact Jim, pseudasmart if he's got some for sale, I think he's is at 5o to 70 range. I think a 5 to 7" would be around 130 to 200 range is my guess.

Thanks bud..the 5 to 7inch range was really the ideal size I needed to be able to go in my big tank. I will contact Jim
