Fair price for specimen size Dendrophylax barrettiae
For all you serious leafless orchid collectors, what do you think is a fair price for a mature size (which is fairly small) plant of this species? I know of one for sale right now, but it seems to be priced quite high even considering the rarity of the species (I have seen it offered before, but very infrequently). What would you pay?
Also, any follow-up information on or experience with this species would be an important addition to the thread as well.

I wanted to add that it seems reasonable to expect flasks of this species to become available within the next 5-10 years (if not sooner) as they have for Dendrophylax fawcettii (and of course D. lindenii and the fairly common D. funalis). Thus, it might be better to wait until flasks come on the market versus spending 1/4 grand on a specimen size plant of Dendrophylax barrettiae.
Now we just have to wait for Dendropylax varius to show up in cultivation. Cool little flower on that one.
