Believe what you want I know what I heard. All it takes is a little talking around closing time on Sunday.

Tiffany, I haven't decided yet but I've been there the last three years. I didn't get my own table in the past, If I'm there I'll be at Brock Wagner's table.

Susan Hardy was offering her Blitz for 5k, and she said she was offered a male coral glow (or banana, i forget) for a blitz. I don't think 5k is really a stretch.

She left with an enchi HGW btw.... I bet that was a pretty penny :please:... Or a blitz :mad:!!

Lets just put it this way i searched around and talked to lots and lots of people pretty much everyone in on this project early on. There is no way someone got bananas in daytona or was offered them for 5k or they would have jumped on it i knew people down there and they were not being sold for 5k that is a huge stretch. Like i said lots of talk about this project by jelous people who dont want to cough up the money for them. I did and im happy with my males these other people who are saying 5k are nuts because fresh hatchlings are being sold for at least 10k right now unless they are going over seas in huge packages.

Perhaps trade value is a little different than cash value. Someone thought trading a cg/banana male for a prospect animal priced at 5k was a good trade. Take it or leave it :gj:. I don't consider myself nuts when those kinds of trades are being thrown around. I don't think you're nuts or delusional for thinking that bananas will continue to be priced at 10k consistently. That's your business :gj:. I'm sure there will be people out there who will buy a banana for 10k. I'm sure there are people out there who are willing to sell their bananas for 5k. Perhaps since you dished out a lot of money for an expensive project, you feel the need to keep the prices up, and tell people that 5k bananas is crazy talk, and that 10k is the proper amount for anyone looking for bananas lol. Who knows :confuzd:. Who cares...

Advertise your snakes for how much you think they're worth. If people buy 'em, great! If they try to get you to drop your price, and you don't want to, then don't! Hold on to your sweet bananas until someone who agrees with you on the value comes and buys 'em.

The prices will come down but as of right now male cglow or bananas are just not being sold for 5k

Also, lets remember that an August hatchling (Daytona) is worth a lot more then a recent hatchling. I picked up an August male and he is now 600 grams and being introduced to females. A recent hatchling is probably 100 grams and won't be ready to breed until next year. I see a huge difference in value there. I spoke to one buyer in Daytona that paid over $20k for his male. I also saw what females were selling for. Of course prices are coming down but to think one person is selling them for $20k+ and across the room someone is offering them for $6k doesn't make any sense. Even someone that was desperate could have sold them wholesale for more than that.

Yeah I can't explain it lol. When I first saw the comments about 5-6k being ridiculously low, it reminded me of Susan's excitement when someone offered her that trade lol. She was stoked that it was a MALE, and they wanted to trade for her blitz! At first I thought the blitz were going for 8k-10k, so I was going to contribute something to the thread, but when I looked back at the pictures I took from the expo, her blitz BPs were going for 5k! Like I said, maybe it's a trading thing lol.. Maybe that person is having a tough time moving his bananas, and thought trading into a new prospect was worth it to him? I don't follow banana pricing, and honestly I thought they were worth around 7k. Tim (Royal Morphs) made a trade for some banana-ness. Hopefully he'll chime in :P.

This ole boy says that if you can get CG/Banana males for 5k let him know I will buy 3 of them. I am in the know and I say that maybe 2014 baby males will sell for -5k but not this year. They are coming down people, just not that quickly.
