Depends upon actual sizes and confirmed sexes but I would say Female - £40 with tub, Male - £25 with tub.

If they are as big as they sound they would be worth far more than that. I've seen unsexed adults for over £100 in pet shops. If you sell online you could ask upto £80 each (depending on true size).

I know what people 'can' get but those are fair prices to me and thats what I would pay

Best way to guage size will be stick a cd or something that is universal in size that people can relate to by or next to the spider and take a pic.

You're looking at around £100 pet shop price.

I'd say £75 online
