Questions

Scenario: Last week I was talking to him and he said his bike was $300. Now I'm asking him again and I forget the price of it.

Are these correct? If not, why? How should I correct it if they're wrong?

1. And you told it was how much?
2. And you told me, how much is it again?

Or is there a better way of saying it? If so, what is it?

Thanks.
