THobern Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I'm coming to this thread a little late, but here's the link to the auction. It went for $3,500. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400099808007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholas Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 That is exceptional! I'm not even a fan of shark teeth and I think that would look great on my desk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THobern Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Peruvian teeth have been hyped up lately on eBay, and are going for exorbitant prices. The same thing happened with Bone Valley teeth a week back, and Chilean megs a month or so before. You can usually trace the hype back to this seller.

I met this dealer at the Tampa show a couple of years ago. He brought his own pair of calipers, which I thought was funny at first. Then, I thought it was a good idea.

He goes to shows and keeps in touch with various collectors. He pays good money for good specimens and seems to make a tidy profit more often than not. Some have questioned his ethics in describing his specimens but he seems to have a loyal following as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 So very true. In the end Megs are not a rare species and are overpriced habitually on Ebay. The teeth are common in some sites, rare in others. In some areas they might not be rare but they are also no longer being exported or digging/collectiong has been halted (mostly or entirely) for some reason, so they have become scarce. The prices seem to get crazier and crazier. Sometimes, I think I should have focused on collecting colorful megalodon teeth (I could be that guy selling teeth for thousands that I got for hundreds or less!) but I used to buy them to trade for teeth you don't see at shows (rare small species/teeth you don't see at shows - oddball locations). It wasn't that long ago (early 90's) that you could get a complete 5-inch river tooth for $100 and one a half-inch larger with nice color for less than $300.
