prices at daytona.

now i am not going to ask what they will be in the next week or year as those threads start wars. i am just couerious to what the average is people saw on bp's. i herd they sunk to a new all time low and just wanted to confirm that with what the bp.net crew saw.

Sure...it's typical...and expected.

Albinos, for example were around $800-1,200...

I am actually surprised they stayed that high. I had seen them on KS for around $900 for several months...figured they would have hit $700ish by time the show hit.

from a few frinds that flew down that they say albinos going for 650- all the way to 500 for new hatchlings. when i herd that my jaw hit the floor. i have a frind that got a het carmel female for 600. hell if they take another hit at daytona next year like they did this year there will be verry few super high priced balls any more. except for combos. but take a look at yellow bellys for instance. why would any one spend 3k on a yellow belly when you can buy a pair of yearling het ivoryes for 500 then all you have to do is wait two yeas and boom you can make your own for 500 in snakes and 50 in rats. and 30 in eletric.

for some reason there are a lot of people that seem to be getting out of the balls. from what i herd there were people at the show that if you had real cash in you hand said make me an offer. i herd of one high contrast albino going for 500 out the door.

It's Daytona...just because some random dude at a table at that show sells an albino for 650 or 500 doesn't mean that's the "new price" on albinos, lol. Is that all it takes to devalue them in your mind?

The cash and carry price in Daytona is not an accurate reflection of the market as a whole. And you're a fool if you think that just because someone sells one down there for XXX.XX, you also have to do the same from that point on.

That's good news to me. I can't wait for the day when the only sellers left in the market are the ones that are truly passionate about ball pythons, as opposed to the guys who aren't interested anymore now that they can't fetch a thousand bucks for a co-dominant morph...news flash...albinos aren't going to be $500 anytime soon...sorry...

Brad is right. Daytona always has some really LOW prices, but competition doesn't get much stiffer than that. Don't go by Daytona prices as the norm. Also quality and reputations vary tremendously as do prices. I bought 3 snakes there this year because I knew that Daytona is a buyers market, but I wouldn't count on prices staying that low. When you have 100's of tables to choose from things get interesting. :cool:

is that why only 1 day after the show. prices on fauana and kingsnake have fallen greatly because of the daytona prices. say what you want daytona prices set the tone for all others

Prices in Daytona were so random, good luck using that as a guide. If your going to use those prices as the norm, you might as well just roll a die and let that choose how much to sell a snake for.
