are you talking about a T in a pet shop? If so, and its black with an orange pattern on its back, its P. irminia, known as Sun Tiger.

YEs thats a Solifugid and not an irminia, The inexperienced keeper will only manage to keep one of these alive for at best a year,
Like i said read this thread >> http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=59006
if you still want one your best bet of obtaining one would be to go for a giant egyptian solifugid, much more readily available than the black ones.
If you want to know how to keep them Google Solifugid+care sheet
