Well, only speaking from having a nice red one myself but....
I paid 450.00 for mine and its about 13-15", and after having it for a few months i would have definitely paid double. No matter the price, its well worth it as long as its healthy. BTW, LA had one for 799.00 about a month ago and it lasted 2 days. So, it wont take an idiot, just the right interested buyer to see that its there. It will sell soon.
Don't buy it, i don't want anyone having as nice of a red carpet as me. LOL
