I would say that the price is about right, so what's stopping you.
(Assuming you are prepared for a few punctures!)

Yeah thats about right, Anacondas at a good weight can lay a lot of eggs coupled with low demand they are not that expensive.

£60 is too much to be bitten almost your entire life of owning it and cleaning up it's horse sized crap. But otherwise it's a good price.

Shureley shome mishtake?

Anacondas are viparious and bear live young not eggs.

Yeah my bad.

They might be ok now and they are generally not as bad as greens but i had a pair and they would be fine one day and killers the next. They are a naturally agressive species but you can get ones that are ok to be handled some will never be ok with it.

I had two and loved them, but id never have another i dont think. Would consider a nice green if a rescue came local though.
