I agree, and the colors on the tiger shark (upper right) are amazing.

Thank you guys for responding ❤️

I don't know if i'm allowed to ask about if it worth **** USD each or not (they look kinda small but he didn't confirm the sizes yet), but i saw much less prices on other websites, problem is shipping to Egypt from other countries is tricky, so i always prefer to get what i want from local sources which sometimes they overprice anything nonsensically

Should i try lower the price? Or it's okay like that??

So i feel a little bit worried (not to get scammed).
Sorry again.

never hurts to try for a lower price.

While I won't give a price/value on these teeth, my advice would be to work out a deal with the seller for the 3 teeth in the top row and pass on the bottom two. Those 3 teeth are all relatively complete and nice examples.

 

The white one on the lower left appears to be an Otodus tooth that is in rough shape. Otodus teeth are extremely common, and much nicer examples are readily available.

A fossils has the worth the client likes to pay :rolleyes:, so if you love them and have the money do not think about if the price is too high or not.

Try to talk to the seller if you can find a good price together, this is my opinion

You could do some online searching using the provided identification and locality info, to compare with other product listings of the same type of fossil. That's what I do all the time. This should give you a general idea of what a reasonable price range should be on these. At that point it's up to you on what you're willing to pay and how much you're willing to bargain.
