Default New Cymbidium - Its HUGE

So a very nice fellow decided to give me this orchid. He works in a greenhouse and apparently grows them. I'm sitting here beside it basking in its scent and yellowish glow and feeling a little guilty that I only gave him some chocolate and tea in exchange for it.
Can someone tell me what these go for. This plant is huge. Its about 3 feet tall and has 3 shoots with about 10 flowers on 2 and 6 more flowers about to bloom.

here are some photos.

Im just curious. I feel bad that maybe the exchange wasn't fair. Thanks everyone!! I love my new orchid!

Cyms vary in price around the country.

California and cold weather states raise many easy and will sell these as low as 8-12 dollars. In Florida we are limited to warm growing varsities that are not grown in great quantities and they will range from $20-35

If he is a grower, I am sure he enjoyed the tea and chocolate more than the orchid.

Thanks everyone... So I shouldn't feel guilty? I mean I'm in Canada. My most expensive orchid was 50 dollars and this one is like 10 times bigger than it.

That's a lovely healthy looking plant. Here in Canada in early spring, you can get large flowering Cymbidiums for about $21.00 at Walmart for a limited time. Anywhere else they would cost more for that size of plant. At a garden centre likely $50.00.
I am sure the chocolate and tea was much appreciated!
