I paid $200 for one nice large one and then $100 each for two that were even larger and thought I got a great deal. They think we're all suckers (and I don't mean "pups")!! LOL
I have been to Hawaii numerous times and they are not that common and the growers know the value of these rare plants..so no $10 pups...

I think someone posted an article to the forum a while back about stolen Ae Ae's in Maui..

Following is a link:
