Hippo is $45 sq ft.

Recommended Posts

Just got off the phone with Van Amburgh....Hippo is $45 sq ft.

I figured it would be expensive, but wow.

Kevin,

Oh they're easy to shoot, and if you put enough lead in them with a big enough gun you can kill 'em; however getting one of them SOBs out of the water after you kilt it can be almost more trouble than it's worth. On dry land they are remarkably fast when POed, and they are almost always POed. From that vantage point, $45 might be cheap!

I had the same response when I wanted to purchase some Python...$39.00 a meter (that's 39" long) and you had to buy the hole thing. Well, I thought that was crazy, all I needed was a few pieces about 4" by 1" no where near 3 1/2 meters. In the end, once I made a hat with the python inlays, all hell broke loose, and I sold a lot of things with python inserts. Now I can't get enough of it.

Once you let someone know of the exoticness of something, it seems to really grab their attention.

And like Art say's, there's no way I'm going Python hunting.
