So lately I've been obsessively checking the Reptile Ring, and have won two snakes from the site. I'm just loving the deals, since I got my baby mojave girl for 135 shipped, and I have a 2013 lesser bee male coming in on Tuesday that cost me all of 145. Since I'm only just now expanding my collection and looking to get into breeding, I thought these were wonderful prices for some very nice animals (perfect for me, as I'm kind of trying not to destroy my bank account too early on). However I've heard from other people that reptile auctions are usually for snakes that otherwise don't sell very well. I'm not super knowledgeable about the quality of certain genes, seeing that I'm fairly new to the whole morphology game, but I really don't want to pass up deals that could help me out in the long run.

Could someone point out what to look for/avoid as far as reptile auctions go? I know I'm not going to be hedging any bets on possible het this or that, but otherwise I'm just very new to most of this, and am still feeling my way around.
