Black striped Maxima on eBay

[iamwhatiam52]

I've seen pictures of them before, but this is the only one I have ever seen for sale.
Just how rare are they?

I was looking at that just the other day, looks amazing!

that is an overpriced clam if i saw one.
there were 3-4 of those at MAX the other day at around $75 which i thought was a fair price.
retailers trying to make big bucks selling pseudo black and whites

The store I work at sells 2-3" black and gold maxis for $50. Like Ezcompany said, they're trying to up the price since they can look like a black and white if you wash them out with blue lighting.

MAX?
What is Max, and how do the real black and whites differ from these?

MAX = marine aquarium expo

you have to get on their waiting list, or get your LFS to do it. they will put you personally on their list, and arrange delivery/sale through an LFS, but it's about a 2 - 3 yr. wait last time i talked with them. their cost is around $200 i believe, so you're gonna pay a ton retail.
