Also the only $1700 Wagyu I can find isn't a steak, it's a burger that also includes caviar, lobster, and edible gold which is hilarious but not necessarily a steak. It's not a normal menu item by any stretch of the imagination, it's an over the top hat trick that was done as a publicity stunt and only sold to a single person. Wagyu or Kobe beef can get pretty pricy for a single pound but even at it's best it's 200-300 per plate. The only way you're hitting the four digit mark with Wagyu steaks is if you're buying multiple pounds of it.
In fairness I'd believe $1700 for Wagyu, but it depends on the size, there's restaurant in London that sells a dish that uses 1kg of kobe beef for £1000. Still, dzo isn't wagyu. My Xaela characters could become very rich if dzo was as valuable as wagyu.
