And I note with amusement that for a mere 150k Euros, I can have my
very own _Brachiosaurus brancai_!  Which has _got_ to be a better way
to spend the money than on thirty-eight _Compsognathus_!

Sauropod lovers on more limited budgets might have to limit themsleves
to a _Diplodocus_ (50k Euros), a _Shunosaurus_ (18k Euros) or even a
crappy little _Bellusaurus_ (8500 Euros).

It's web-sites like this that make me want to sell up my London flat
and move out somewhere in the middle of nowhere, where you can get a
big property for much less money ... and blow all the spare money on a
_Brachiosaurus_ cast :-)
