albino price

would you pay $3,200 for an albino??? steve winkler is asking tht for an albino, i find it insane,

Hi,

Is it a proven female over 2500g or something?

Is it a regular albino or a caramel albino or a lavender albino or a toffino?

Is it a new ad or one that has been up for several years?

The albino he is selling for that price is also het pied. So yes I would pay that price if I was in the albino piebald project.

Hi,

Actually I just went and looked - he isnt asking $3200 for an albino.

He's asking $3,200 for an albino het pied male. :rolleyes:

oh oops, my bad.

Sounds a bit to pricey me, especially as a male. Hatchling double het males go for around $175. Obviously less odds of Hitting the albino, and they would be a year away.

If you have an inquiry about his or anyone's prices I suggest you speak with them first before you go about posting their business on a different forum. (not that it was overly negative)

Agreed, though noe harm was does it is kinda bad.. if you were asking if the seller is good that's different.

And Jason, remember one thing. NEVER pay asking price. There is always room for negotiations. Some breeders will drop.more then other. At Tinley back in October I saw some pay $12,000 cash for a $20,000 BP. (I forget what is was..I caught the end of the deal.) My point is there is usually room for negotiations. :p

I believe it was a visual albino, 100% het for pied. the quoted price is far from outrageous. I'd pay at least the asking price if I were looking to produce albino pieds.

not to hijack the thread but I'm not sure that's the best point of view to
advocate. there is a significant difference between bargaining for high end morphs at an expo with cash in hand and wasting an established breeder's time via email with an offer far below market. no harm in trying to get a deal, but your example is not terribly apropos.
