    Fair market price
    I have a few Leo's that I'll be putting on a friends table at an upcoming show.I'm not really that into Leos and lately I've been concentrating (sp?) BP's so they don't really fit in my plans.
    I have 3 60grm females
    -Sunglow
    -bell albino
    -Shtct
    So to those of you with a little Leo knowledge my question is this;What is a fair price for each of these ready to breed Leo morphs?

    I have been bashed by this before so just a fore warning. (Big breeders feel if you can get the same price as them, well lets just say they get cranky. And no lie had a MOD from a gecko site flag my CL page, then continue to email me THEN found my ad on their site and emailed me saying he/she found me again. There are some weirdos out there.) People will not pay as high of a price from a no name vs a big breeder even if your comes from a big breeder and you can prove it.
    People see it as buying a car new then as soon as you drive it off the lot it loses like 20% of it's value well it's about the same.
    NOW if your bud is a well known guy you can put up the same prices as you see on the breeders sites. But if not then you will prob have to cut ur prices by like 15-20% of what well known breeders sell for.
    For prices OhioGecko is a good middle price range for leos. Now Abby's are EXTREMELY high IMO but she also has like a couple of the best blood lines out there.
    Here are some good sites to get your start:

    Well I would say it depends on how quickly you want them gone. If you are offering them for sale but would rather keep them then dump them at a cheap price then keep your price higher. If your just looking to get rid of them..... (well in that case I would find a vendor that is willing to buy or trade for them so you don't look like your undercutting everyone at the show)..... If no vendor wants them then go cheap so they aren't around at the end.

    Your asking price also depends on what's at the show, how much it's going for, etc. You can't expect to sell them at $100 each if someone else is blowing out older breeders at $20 a pop.

    It's gonna depend on what the other vendors are pricing at.

    I get a table sometimes at the local show so I'm aware of how a show operates.However I usually sell Rhacodactylus geckos.I'm not really into Leo's and I'm not sure what the leo market is like.I'm looking to get a decent price that a breedable female morph would command. I'm not in a hurry or trying to dump them just looking pursue other projects.

    I would say these are fairly nice geckos so around an avg price:

    SHTCT - 100
    Sunglow - 125
    Bell - 65

    Those seem pretty fair to me, from looking at other sites. Other ppl can chime in.
