Mojave prices

Anyone else noticed how cheap they have now become?

Males and females at $1000 each....

Has anyone compared a leucistic from a Fireball with that of a Mojave? I know both of them aren't pure white, but I wonder which one is cleaner? Either way, the price difference still blows me away: Mojaves for $1,000 and Fires for $5-7,000? If I wanted black eyes that bad, I'd get some mini-contacts made. :P

I saw one sell on Reptile auctions for $800 last night and from the same seller a orange ghost pair for $850 would this be a "Jimmy" seller?

LMAO... I'm not a leucistic fan myself.... Before the MKR mess, Mojaves were $1,500 - $1,700

Gotta wonder what prices will be next year on a lot of things.

I wouldn't by anything off that site!

It's a well known haven for scammers!

That started the whole thread of "How Low?", MKR sold or claimed to have sold 50 Mojaves for $800 in a weeks time.

Based on that and other forum threads on the subject, it seems that some have taken offense to what MKR did and have made their opinions very public. Others saw it as a business decision, could not care less and scooped up a few Mojaves for $800 and Lessers for $2500.

I've seen some sellers come down in price from $1500 to $1200 to $1000 recently. While others have held out at $1100-$1700 and have not budged, whether they are selling in unknown. I even read one KS classified seller that wrote some nasty comments on their ad about the lower priced sellers.

I noticed that MKR is no longer on KS as a sponsor and heard that they may have been banned.

I doubt if they were in fact banned from KS that it was due to prices.
That's still pretty interesting.

Well I was in the market for a Mojave, but I'm thinking twice about it now. Next year prices will probably be well below $1000. Unless I incorporate a Mojave into a different morph project then producing Mojaves isn't as good an indea as I thought it was.


Makes for an unpredictable 12 months!

I just saw a Spider for $1000 on KS.
I think that's a new low for them, publicly at least.

I'm pretty sure we'll see Spiders and Mojaves consistently below the $1000 mark next year or if this keeps up... before October...LOL. I'm not much for Mojaves, but I definitely plan on picking up a Spider soon..maybe at Daytona!!;)
