My understanding is that probably fewer than 20 have ever been imported into the US thus the price tag is quite hefty-- somewhere in the $450+ region. My specimen arrived at the wholesaler missing the lower jaw and was thus deemed unsaleable. Someone volunteered my name as a good home for the invalid to live out it's days

Are you sure he didn't drop his dentures into the sand bed??
