My GOD! Do prices usually slice in half every year!!!!
I just can't believe the prices this year! I'm looking through kingsnake and breeders websites and I'm finding unbelievable prices!
A male Pied $800!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A male YB $75! That's cheaper than a male pastel! What on earth!
A male Albino $400!
A male orange ghost $175!
Is anyone else just plain heart wrenched about these prices?! On one hand I'm a little happy because I'll be able to afford some more morphs, but on the other hand I'm worried about how low morphs are going to go! I know prices drop like crazy, but I've only been apart of the BP world for a little over a year and these morphs are worth HALF as much as they were a year ago!
Does anyone know how much a male pastel cost just a few years ago?
Re: My GOD! Do prices usually slice in half every year!!!!
Think Of Kingsnake like a swap meet.. Some times you find other peoples out right crap for pennys on the dollar and the you have people that know what they have and what its worth and that's what their asking for ir.
Re: My GOD! Do prices usually slice in half every year!!!!
True. But IMO there isn't a bad example of the Pied, the other morphs do have good and bads-I will agree with that. The pied is just what your looking for. The pied for $800 was a low white pied, which a lot of people seem to like. I couldn't imagine letting a pied go for that cheap!

Neither could I but as with all prices the slowly trickle down.. think of it this way Het Pied's were twice that when I got my female.. Now you can get the Visual for the cost of the hets..
It's all good if pieds get to be 250.00 I'll just make 250 of them. :D easy fix. :D as pirces go down production goes up..

Economy is bad they just want there snakes gone get your collection up while you can plus as everybody buys these morphs the less hard they are to get so price drops.

in 06 pastels were selling for way more than 500$
but i think you get the point it all depends on where you are and what your actual market deems fit for pricing. sure right now everyone can ship but come winter time alot of ppl do not ship or cant (weather) that also helps to dictate price
