Nope too expensive doesn't look worth it in my opinion

It's up to you if it's worth the price or not. It's a good-sized plant but the appearance doesn't really do anything for me.

I would only think about that one of the pitchers turned almost black as they age. As nimbulan says the plant really isn't very impressive. That's not that much for a sarr though, I've seen some go for $1600 US. Now that's a price tag.

One of the main thing you pay for in CPs is time. If that plant sold for 25 3 years ago, 100 could be a fair price. Some species/cultivars really go up in price depending on size, other common/plain ones will max out at a specific price range.

N. loweii is a good example. Small plants sell for $40-$80 but large adults easily sell for $1,200-$1,500.
