How much is utter chaos worth

I was in a store today and they wanted 400$ for a frag of utter chaos. Is it actually that sought after/valuable?

Seems the majority of online retail are sold out and the ones that do have it are charging between $50-80 per polyp. Gotta remember in a reef club everything is usually about half retail and the picture you included looks to be well over 20 polyps.
 
Free enterprise at is best. I bet if you flashed 200.00 cash you would have it. Everything you buy from a store is always more expensive than the private sale. My tank costs me about 150.00 a month in electricity, I couldn't imagine a store full of tanks. Just my thoughts
 
Seems overpriced at first. But after thinking about it:

@mandarin says he charges $10pp This seems completely reasonable; I think we all agree.
Retailers probably charge 50-100% more than hobbyists looking to trade. That puts retail at $15-20PP. (still see some online retailers at $45-50pp) There is at least 30 polyps there, so that puts it at $450-600 (assuming the $15-20pp). Throw in a 20% volume discount, you're around $360-480.

Conclusion: Overpriced? maybe, but seems inline with market pricing. Would I buy it? No. $150 tops lol

Edit: I just saw that @BiGGiePauls33 said pretty much the same exact thing above.
