So, I work at a local small pet store in my town and I love love love talking to people about their snakes when they come in to get feeders. This man came in last week talking about his new ghost (he pauses) pinstripe (heck yes!) he got from NARBC a few weeks back. So I'm expecting this thing to cost a pretty penny when he is going on about pricing. But how much did he pay? 200!! I couldn't believe it! I didn't lol he said it was originally marked at 250 but he'd asked if they would take 200 and they said yes! WHOA! So it gets better/worse in a way. He bought it for his soon, they just have them as pets for now really, and his wife emails the breeder to ask if the snake was in frozen or live and he told me the breeder returned an aggravated email to him (keep this in mind too, he had told me he had talked to the vender for a good 30-45 minutes about the ghost gene) When I asked him why the aggravated response he told me they emailed him saying "oh yeah YOU'RE the guy who got our pinstripe ghost for 200 dollars!" Someone had scratched off the one in front of the 250! I was speechless... That REALLY sucks for the breeder I bet he/she was PISSED at whoever sold him that snake without realizing what it was. But the guy definitely got a steal of a deal. Crazy right???
