$180-250 is a fair price. But now a day you can find them at about $60-120 at LFS. someone offer me $1200 for the gold color one, and it is still in my tank. Never seen this color.

If it's illegal to import, it's illegal to own given it would fall under CITES. You can be convicted under the Lacey Act in fact.
USF&WS when interviewed said they are not illegal to import, yet at the time they said that, you could not find any CITES II for them??? If there is no CITES for them, your not getting them into the states legally.
