Haven't seen these guys around in a while. I have a group myself but haven't seen them advertised for sale anywhere. Anyone with any ideas? Also if so what are they going for?

I ate them all.

Thank you for the sarcastic remark it was not helpful at all. I now question my decision to post questions here at all. I hope not everyone acts as you did and tries to help. Please do not bother to reply. I really would like to find out this information.

Ouch. Sensitive much? Look on the bright side, at least I responded.......

I have a few friends that still keep them, but the genus as a whole has dried up in the hobby - not just gigas. The genus can be problematic to breed at times and very difficult to sex in some species. Those that still have them normally try to make sure their surplus animals only end up with dedicated hobbyists.
