It is all about supply and demand. It is still early in the season so prices may be a little higher right about now especially for 2011 females. You can wait a few more months and maybe get a better deal or spend a little more now and start raising them females up.

lol not so much. the female spiders were 195 and they were not nice ones at all. kinda dull color. I'm having real difficulty picking up females. I can get good deals on males but gonna take ur advice and get females first. Not having any luck..

I think 250 for cinnies is kinda high but for a good looking female spider and pastel you can expect to pay around 200. I would spend a little extra for quality. Invest in quality and you will produce quality. Im in the same boat. I have a on older male pastel and a 2010 female pastel and I will be getting a mojave and a spider to add to my ladies. Good luck on your hunt for your ladies.

Males go for $80-125 usually depending on how nice he is. So its like youre getting a nice female for $50-$70. Thats a really good deal!

Awesome! Thats a pretty good deal. I havent seen any pastels that are less than 150 most females i have seen go for about 200. I got the pair of mine for 300 with shipping so I thought I gotta pretty decent deal... :gj:
