I've been here a long time and this is probably the most fascinating thing I have seen available for sale for bitcoin!
It would have been sold a long time ago if the OP asked for a more realistic price. The price of mammoth tusks arent nearly as much as what he is asking for. Even for ones that are this big.
Hmm I'm no expert on mammoth tusk prices.
How much do you think they should be?
The regular tusks that my city museum keeps purchasing are a bit shorter than what is shown here in the pictures, and they are imported from Russia as well.
A properly graded mammoth tusk of this size is priced around $5000 - $20000 at best in an auction setting.
The last mammoth tusk piece I saw was the front part of the tooth, the segment was about 4 feet in length the guy imported it for roughly 2.5 lakh rupees ($4032) including taxes and all.
Then again neither am I a collector, nor do I know what is special about this particular piece besides it's size.
For the closest present day comparable approach, considering to legally go hunt Bull Elephants in Africa you first have to pay for a license apx. $20,000 USD. Then add travel expenses, guides, taxidermy costs, etc. The only aspect counter weighing all that is the time costs of the individual whom can afford to do this is quite high, so tack on an additional demand variable in a range of $50,000 - $500,000 USD.. So unless the actual adventure experience value remains higher than the grand total here, you should expect this trophy to fetch anywhere from $35,000- $650,000.00 USD.
As far as hunting present day bull elephants are considered I dont think its allowed anymore these days especially with all the conservation efforts, and I support it, and most countries that have strict regulations which irrevocably forbids any kind of trade or collecting of exotic animal trophies.
