whether or not it is a good deal is a very subjective judgement to make.
for me, no absolutely not. i wouldn't pay that much for a clam, except for maybe a nice T. gigas.
but it's your call. if you look at that clam and think "worth it" then by all means get it! i know most of my friends think i'm off my rocker for paying $50+ for little fuzzy sticks glued to rocks. i beg to differ.
with this hobby, like most, beauty and value are in the eye of the beholder.

For the sake of argument, I'll say it's way too high: Consider that a very plain, but large, squamosa can be had for as little as $60. That was mine, an 8-incher, and it's still going after three years.
Add a really great color variation, and maybe $200 or so to start? Then consider that at 10 inches, your acquaintance is perhaps trying to make room in his tank. Clams that large take up space, and suck up calcium. Why does he want to sell? Sight unseen, I wouldn't offer more than $250.

$750?
That seems really expensive to me. I wouldn't go much more than $300
