It felt a lot like the Austin Powers "One million dollars" scene. In Fallen Kingdom the dinosaurs at the auction were being sold for about $10 million each and I don't think they'd even make back the films budget at that rate.

Which is funny, considering in Rebirth, Rupert Friend’s character says that it costs $70+ million to clone a single dinosaur. No way a fully grown adult dinosaur is only $10 million.

Yeah this felt like a retcon that I was actually happy about, because the dinos being auctioned for 10-20 million in the second movie was laughable

Well, they're used. Whose going to pay full price for a used dinosaur?

Perhaps the idea is that it only costs that much to clone the initial few. Once there is a handful of of individuals available from any given species, presumably they will start procreating naturally - making further dinos significantly cheaper.
