Good deal? To buy or not to buy?

So like most of us I cruise around on CL every now and then. Came across a guy selling 1.1 100% het Albino balls for $100 total. While I do appreciate a good deal, I'm not sure it's that good. They are each 300-400g and he still has the Albino male and Normal female that produced them. I'm somewhat hesitant because 1) I never really intended to get into Albinos, not that I dont think theyre gorgeous, just I have other project plans, and 2) I'm always a little wary of anything on CL, especially since I would be using these guys for breeding purposes, not just pets. So, any opinions? Thoughts, comments, criticisms always welcome :)

That to me answers the question.

I wouldn't buy something that I don't have plan for.

However if you do plan on getting in an Albino project I would recommend to buy from a REPUTABLE breeder that will guarantee the animal's genetic.

I second that....

yah I would agree if it's something you dont want even 70% sure about pass on it. Because you dont want to have to take care of something that you arent crazy about even having and like Deborah stated I would buy one from a good breeder. Or possibly wait to get a steal like I got on my female albino and pay 200$ ;)

Thanks for the replys, I was torn between the "good deal" and where my projects were going. More replys and comments are still welcome :)

I always pass up "good deals".

I don't buy an animal if I see it and know that THAT is the one that I want. Then I look at the price tag and see if I can afford it. I'd much rather have the two or three snakes I am specifically looking for than a good deal on 10 that I wasn't super interested in except because they were priced well.
