Bought Megalodon tooth for around $150 a few years back. Now the same shop owners are trying to say smaller ones are worth 10k
Back at a certain shop in the Carolinas about two years ago I bought this tooth for around $150. Thought it looked great with minimal chipping. When I returned to the same shop a few months ago to check in on them and was looking at some other meg teeth they had the owner from before asks me a question.
He said "How much do you think that goes for" and I said $150-$200 (keep in mind it's smaller than the one I bought before) he and his wife laugh in my face and he says "try adding three zeroes to that" his wife gives him a funny look and says "no that one would be closer to 10K".
Naturally that's ludicrous but they stated it like it was a known fact that everyone knows. I showed them photos of this one that they sold me before and the price range that it was. They didn't say anything. Super odd.
