It's a real Megalodon tooth. I think the root is slightly repaired.

The blade has overal good preservation, except at the tip there is some damage. What makes it less desirable . 

The bourlette is good preserved .
My guess is that it's an Indonesian tooth? seller should state its location.

 

The tooth itself does not look that big, I would say 4inch  ? teeth over 6inch are much more desirable, but also priced. 

 

Keep in mind: 1. Indonesian Meg teeth are very common. 2. Value is determined  by size and preservation, and location. (usually Indonesian ones are less desirable because they are so common. 

So overal its a pretty mediocre tooth. Due to its size, and preservation. Many out there with beter preservation. It all depends on the price (we cannot talk about it here) but if it makes sense to you.
