Good deal?

I am looking at *maybe* getting one of these two Sri Lankin Stars. I wanted some personal opinions in how they look and how much you would think would be good. Let's just say they are asking around $575-$600 a piece. They are 6 years old. I'm in the US.

I know nothing about them. Maybe @Tom or @tortadise can help

As long as they are healthy that seems to be a pretty good price. They are pyramided but that seems pretty common with stars.

They are both males. I thought they usually were a little lighter but may be the pictures.

Neonates at the low end sell for $350 and at the higher end $499. Given the growth and years and thinking how much can be spent over that time, as long as they are healthy it seems like a reasonable price. Stars, like a few others, are very variable in what each individual looks like, so that weighs in significantly too. They seem to be what I think of as 'good looking' ones.

One of them seem to have a bit of damage to the marginals over the right front foot. Maybe a dog chew incident ???

He did say one had some small chips on his shell but healed but I really hadn't inquired more about it. Good eye! I was looking on a phone. I see it now, kind of larger than expected.

Pretty cheap price. Not bad, pyramided but that's quite common unfortunately, especially in stars. May I ask where you found the sellers info? Might be scam. But most definitely could be real. Just curious.

Craigslist originally but have texted with him and he is about 30 min from me (so would meet in person).
