Question about Proper pricing.

[jessie_k_pythons]

First of all if this thread is in the wrong area please feel free to move it where it belongs. (thanks)

Ok so I have this small problem, (this time I'm the one doing this not my husband) I want to sell Lady and Baby as a pair for next season, but I don't know the proper pricing for a 900+gr pair. My husband says no less than $400 shipped (due to vet bills the price of Baby and food costs, he was the one paying for it all) is that way to much? I have no clue on pricing yet so I'm asking you.

Thanks again

Seems a bit high to me just because of their sizes and that they are both wild type. Since shipping is included you're really only asking around 350 for them, give or take a few for the location. I've seen similar sized females for about $100-150 at a pet store that usually has better prices than others. Males typically don't sell for as much though.

Also, it would be good to know their origin, if you have feeding records, etc. on them. Being able to provide this info will help you in your sale. Sometimes price is not the most important piece of a sale.

Sure make us the bad people in your husbands eyes lol.To tell you the truth normal males are a dime a dozen unless its for a pet.Now females of course are a differant story.All you can really do is place a price that you feel is fair and go from their.I know i know bad joe for not giving you a price .I will give a dollar on the second Tuesday of next week shipped .

I meant as in their pattern. They are not any kind of color or pattern mutation, correct?

Wild type means 'normal' as in not morph.

Check kingsnake and fauna classifieds for prices.

[frankykeno]

Wild type means just normal looking Jessie. Wild type doesn't mean wild caught.

Seems a bit high.

What do they look like?
Are they are both 900 grams empty? Are they feeding regularly?

Normal males don't bring much and the female might bring $150-$200 depending upon the looks, disposition, CB, CH, WC, etc.

Hard to tell. Price them at $400 shipped OBO and see what happens. You may have to end up with less but the market is crazy sometimes.

I tried forever to sell a blackback female. Went down to $150 shipped and she never sold even after 2 months. I listed a normal male and he sold the next day for $125. Go figure. It all depends upon how firm you want to be with the price, how long you want to hold onto them until they sell, and what the buyers are cureently looking for.

Jessica why are you wanting to sell a female ball? You are going to need females for that pastel male to prove him out.Not trying to be nosey just wondering,if you want to pm me.

[SPJ]

Joe makes a very good point.

If you are looking to get a male pastel, keep the 900 gram female and sell the male.
That female will be breeding size by the time a 2006 male pastel gets up to breeding size.
