The molt posted looks male to me. The after molt pic also looks male and maybe a MM does he have bulbous pedipalps? and does he have mating hooks under the front two legs at the second joint up from the foot?
If it is a MM and you're interested in selling him let me know, i have a female.
You can see the swollen palps and mating hooks in this shot of my MM G. poretri

I'll try and get a better picture as and when he moves a little.
How much do these guys usually go for?

Probably $25-$40, I got a good deal on my G. porteri from a pet store for $15. Mature males of this species live about 18-36 months after they mature. In very rare instances they will be able to molt successfully again but most mature males die. Rose hair is a common name given to many different Tarantulas from Chile with the pink carapace. Yours is a Grammostola rosea my pictures are of a mature male Grammostola porteri very similar except for the deep red hairs on yours they look alike.

they are only on the front two legs they are used in mating to keep the female from having him for dinner.they are just on the underside of the second joint up from the foot.

If they are not present on your T then he is not mature yet.

Yeah i think that he has got them but not as big as your guy's LOL!!!
He is roughly about 1year 3months old. not sure if that helps.
But just my luck he has gone under his log. i think he has gone camera shy lmao!!!

He needs time to recover from the molt it takes alot out of them just make sure he has a full water dish and he is good to go.
If you decide to sell him let me know.

Gorgeous spider
unfortunately age tells us nothing, G. rosea are slow growers. I've had mine for about 6 months and he's grown about 1/2" - from 1/4" to 3/4" his last molt 2 days ago put him just over an inch DLS.
Wow, he is absolutely gorgeous!
Where did you get that he's that age? Is that what you were told when you bought him? He's almost definitely older than that but so beautiful! Definitely find someone who has a lady for him! I have a female but she's not ready to breed right now. It's been over 2 years since her last molt!
