    Pastel $90
    Mojave $100
    Phantom $100
    Fire $100
    Vanilla $100
    Spider $125

    This doesn't really mean anything without sexes or weights. Sex and weight can make a huge difference in price.

    They're all hatchlings hatched within the last 2 months. Unsexed.

    Unsexed is a terrible way to buy a hatchling, you may or may not be getting a good deal. Although for either sex 40$ is way too much for a normal.

    Actually for unsexed they are all on the high side.

    MorphMarket can help you find the median price. For example, there are currently 70 Phantoms for sale which constitute nearly 6 full pages. We can line these up from least expensive to most expensive like this:

    http://www.morphmarket.com/c/reptile...page=1&sort=le

    Therefore, the prices near the end of the 3rd page could be considered median, i.e. $225-$300.

    Using the filter we can also narrow it down to just hatchlings (you state later that all are hatchlings).

    The Rainbow Enchi Ghost (the one and only) currently goes for 17k. Alas the day will arrive when they too will fetch only $100. This can be a difficult concept for younger generations to wrap their head around, and doing so would have profound consequences on the market.

    The link you posted is not exclusively single gene animals. Single Gene Phantom hatchlings going for sale average out at around $100

    So then the OP's listed price of $100 is spot on.

    We could also look at the prices they have already sold for, though seasonal fluctuations would have to be taken into account.

    The median price of every BP ever sold there is $300
