Well, somebody needs to have a freaking sale so us normal people can afford one.

Re: Piebald Thoughts?
The issue of the amount of white I think is a personal one. I prefer pied with more of a saddled pattern and not alot of white - other's may prefer more white, others may prefer half white, half pattern......
Similar to the other morphs - I don necessarily think it's about the morph but more of an "eye of the beholder" choice. Some folks cream their jeans over Cinny's -I don't get it - they look like light normals. Mojaves - people have orgasms over - I don't get that either?????
We get all caught up in these morphs and their expense - when really every individual has their own flavor.

Bingo I got female spiders listed for one price. However my hold back female you'd have to pay 3X's that for to even think about getting me to let her go.
Thats how hot she is. Same thing with my Enchi I paid more for my Enchi than most did in 08 but then again I haven't seen an Enchi yet that holds a candle to my male.
PAY WHAT THE "ANIMAL" IS WORTH!

I think the prices on pied these days are fair. Granted it would be nice if they were cheaper , but still I think that what they are selling for now is what they are truely worth.

Absolutely man! I could have gotten 3 pastel females for the price I paid for mine last year but y'know what I knew when I saw her that she was going to be a fantastic looking adult so I swiped her up and didn't think twice about it! Quality parents produce quality offspring. That's all there is to it. I'm not breeding with any eye towards selling (though I probably will eventually) I'm doing this because I want to have the best looking babies possible in MY collection!
Pieds are so variable. Me personally I LOVE low white pieds with their crazy crazy patterning. But even breeding wise, a low-white pied can still throw high white babies!

And that''s what I'm saying they may be the best looking one's in YOUR eyes, and not necessarily mine.
I called a guy about a pied - he gave me a price - which was a bit steep in my opinion - and I told him that - his reply was
"that's what it's worth to me" - meaning him of course.

Right you pay what the breeder things its worth. If you don't think it worth that then you don't have to pay it.
The best deal is when you and the breeder both think the animal is worth the same thing..

That's definitely true. Just remember if people we're not willing to pay 1200-2000 dollars for a piebald there would not be any up for sale for that price! I think in some cases beauty is more in the eye of the beholder. However, I think we can pretty much all agree for instance that a nice pastel should have great looking blushing and hold their color well, that a good looking mojave should have eye-popping color not be all washed out etc..... Again if you know what the "standard" is and breed for both quality and what you like 9 times out of 10 there's multiple people out there in the big old world that feel exactly the same way and will be willing to put more money out for an animal that looks exactly how they would like it!
It doesn't mean that everyone has to like absolutely everything that I produce but I sure as heck better like them!
