Blue Squamossa for sale: long Island

[ireefny]

its not rare, just illegal to trade....LOL
guess pricing just dictates supply & demand

 

[clamcrazy]

i have 3 zebra maximas in all, why how much do you think you can get for your kid ? lol i would never sell them.

 

[cb747]

Hard to get makes em rare or do you prefer well done? LOL Your clam collection looks awesome btw. Rays got a nice collection too that hes going to be selling off.
Justin selling your kid so soon? LOL

 

[clamcrazy]

i think rare would be if there were only very few out there which is not the case. just a case of supply and demand.

 

[onegreenray]

like everything else it comes down to supply and demand. if there is no supply , and there is a demand for them...

the other clams i will be selling are a 6" tiger strip dersa and a 5" gigas. the small blue rim squamossa i am keeping.

i have gotten a couple offers but not to be a dick but ifthe offer isn't even close to my asking price i will just put it on ebay by the end of the month.

if cities permits were issued to let them into this country they would be fairly easy to get.

Can you elaborate on this? Why is blue restricted?

Plentiful or not makes then hard to get here and thus rare in the states Guess we all have different definitions of rare.
Leslie i believe they come from Australia Great Barrier Reef and thus not many are allowed to be collected so there may be millions out there which in that scope makes them not so rare, in Australia

Ray, is that K's old clam?

Maybe he meant it is not rare if you got the $$, in this case its rare for everyone on this site:lol2:.

 

[onegreenray]

Ya pierce that is the clam for a clam. But unfortunate for K his clam was sour so I got to keep it. LoL

rare or not took me two years to track one down.

All, as CC has already mentioned - this animal is not rare - NICE yes, but not rare - rare is when the animal is not found in the ocean as readily as other species -

There are troughs of the blue spot squammies by the thousands being cultured in the Solomons (Neigut, MACNA 2006) just waiting to be imported.

However, they are not currently being imported (answer leslie is becuase CITIES has put the stops on the clam farming) and demand drives the price. JF, if I had the $$ I'd get it too - one of my personal favs

Ray, good luck with the sale - great specimen and worth the price in todays marketplace.

[LeslieS]

CITIES

Oh, I didn't realize this was an organization. I thought he meant NYC.

Doh!

Can you please give me what CITIES stands for? I cannot google it as I keep getting city statistics.
