    Price Question
    So I've noticed that, in general, females sale for more than males. I was wondering how to determine a female price for a particular morph. For most things I just got to KS and Fauna and search to get an idea. But I am only finding males for the specific morph I want to sell. So what would you do? Is there a rule of thumb percentage to hike up the female price?

    Say the average male is $100. What would the female be?

    Thanks.

    It depends on the quality of the animal alot too. If you have a picture that would help and id toss out an estimate. I cant think of a morph where the males avg $100 except for maybe an average looking pastel or yellowbelly.

    I was just throwing that out as an example since I thought it would be easier to do math on. The real price I am looking at is $700 on average for a male.

    Have you tried this site?

    http://www.snakemarket.com/

    It seems to do a pretty good job of looking through various ads and showing prices.

    Don't forget to factor is weight as larger females will sell for higher prices as well :gj:

    Thanks. It's neat but still in beta. It only found 2 ads when I found 4 on my own between KS and Fauna.

    I think it depends on the morph. It could be anywhere from 10-50% higher. This only seems to apply to morphs that have been around for some time and are more readily available. For example, Banana males $40k, females $10k.

    I guess i would base my price on snake market first then use the classifieds as a guideline.
    Depends on the quality...don't under sell yourself when it comes to prices if you've got quality snakes, which i know you do. Maybe start on the higher end, you can always lower your prices if they don't seem to sell.

    What animal are you trying to sell? Is there a reason you didn't tell us what it was? It really would help quite a bit more if we knew lol.

    Can I do that? I don't want it to be construed as advertising. I'll tell you in a PM though.
