A Raglan fisherman who netted a 4.6m great white shark by accident is banking on overseas interest to drive up the price of its 1m-wide jaws.
Warwick Harris has put the giant jaws on internet auction site TradeMe with a $10,000 opening bid.
He hopes bids for the relic of the female shark – believed to be the largest caught in New Zealand – will climb even higher. “There’s some pretty rich Americans out there. What’s $US15 million to them,” he said.
