If eBay is to be the judge, then the dimetro is the rarest unpainted invicta, and the troodon and lambeo are second-rarest. There is a UK seller who will occasionally list several new dimetros in succession. The price on the first one will always skyrocket, but falls on the others. The last ones he sold went for $28-88. I got my dimetro from him a year ago for $10. I almost never see dimetros from other sellers The troodon tends to go for more than the dimetro or lambeo, and the lambeo usually goes for around $50 or 60. If you want to include painted invictas in this scale, then the painted invicta whale could be the rarest invicta (I have only seen two on ebay in the past two years--the last one was up last month but the seller pulled the auction immediately, and the one I saw before that was sold two years earlier as a BIN, before painted invicta prices really started to skyrocket). You could also count the white invictas as among the rarest invictas (I have seen one white pteranodon, three white rexes, four white stegs, and five or six white trics on ebay, over the past 2 years) . The painted pteranodon, muttaburasaurus, ichthyosaurus, and the green/white painted variation of the invicta brachiosaurus are also very rare, some seeming to be as rare as the whites or rarer.
Too much information?

There used to be a British seller who sold new Dimetrodons for a BIN of around $10 or so (maybe even less). If he still sells I think he does auctions now.

The seller I am thinking of did sell a couple as BINs for $10, right after I got mine. We are probably thinking of the same person

To be most blunt, a Triceratops skeleton is not worth that much. And honestly, a good cast specimen costs under $100K, meaning you could pretty much fill an entire (small) gallery with casts, specimens and displays for the price of one fossil skeleton. If it sells, it will wind up in the Middle East (or some other place with a lot of wealth and few skeletons) anyway.

I was thinking the same thing about this thing being WAAAYY overpriced (but hey, who the heck knows what the market rate is for something like this? Whatever some gullible billionaire wants to pay?)
On another note, these same guys that dug this up also dug up a Trex ("Ivan") and a big Mosasaur that are on display in a museum in Wichita Kansas.
Do you know anything about these specimens that might be of interest? How big is this "Bob" the Triceratops anyhow? Skull looks to be at least 7+ feet tall, which I guess is average for bigger specimens ...
