[Loki]

It wasn't me :-/

 

[SDguy]

$1K, actually.

 

[Loki]

Was it really? I guess I didn't see it....

 

[Loki]

Oops! I guess I should have clicked on the link...

 

[wysiwyg]

wow amazing clam wish i had the grand to drop on it some lucky buyer is very happy

 

[Shauno]

That's a lot of dough, but a really nice squamosa!

There are like 6 blue squamosas @ my lfs for under 700$

 

[Loki]

Yeah there are a lot around now. My lfs had one really cheap as well. $250!!

 

[Pappy]

I need to ask...why are these clams selling for so much? Is it availability? My Lfs has tricadnas and Maximas all the time for about $60. Is the Squamosa different? Or is it just that they are not readily available where you guys are located? I am in Florida and I know things are much more common around here but am thinking this is some special clam? Thx everyone for input.

 

[landlord]

They are not typically found in those particular colors which is the reason for the high $$$

 

[Loki]

Up until recently the blue squamosa hadn't been in the hobby really. There have been (per Skinz) only a handful in the last 10 years.

How big was it?

 

[skinz78]

How big was it?

Which one? The one at LA was 6".

Since this one has sold I have recently purchased 4 of them, kept one sold one and traded the other two away. There is a few of them on the market right now but from what I am told they will not be available again for a long time once this batch is gone.

They have another one posted in DD now, but it's small... only 1.5"
