How much are mako sharks teeth worth?

Nothing, it is illegal to trade in shark teeth or products. ============================================== I am not finding anything that indicates it is illegal to trade in shark teeth or shark products. The U.S. and other countries have banned shark finning where the shark's fins are cut off and the rest of the body is tossed away - but that has not banned shark fishing. The sale of imported shark fins is not necessarily banned by the same countries that ban finning. I also cannot find anything that shark products are banned everywhere. That is a country-by-country issue. In the US, some states - but not all - have banned the sale of shark fins. So you need to check your local and national laws. Now back to the teeth. The value of the teeth will really depend upon size and condition. You can look at sites that are selling them to see what they are asking. You should definitely do more research.
