Black Maxima

Are these really that uncommon. I see a lot on the internet, and they always come with a hefty price, so how are they so uncommon?
Thanks in advance,
Drew

where do you see them for sale?

 

[spsboy]

My local store had 3 in the last week, and I've seen some on the internet over the past month. I just thought they were supposed to be impossible to get.

ive seen 2 or 3 instock on-line in maby 2 years. how much did the lfs want and where did you see them on-line?

 

[spsboy]

The store wanted 150.00 each for ones that were like 3 inches a piece.
I don't remember the exact places I say them online, but I do a search tomorrow and see if I can find them again.
I was just wondering if these really were that rare, or do they just not get imported very oftem because they don't really look as nice as the greens and blues.
