whats the deal?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

i keep on getting told my 2011 mojave male is barely worth 100 bux?????? why is that when i cant even find one that cheap????? thanks:gj:

Idk wed need a pic to make a judgement but even if it was a low quality mojo male those are going for at least 150 shipped.

thats what i been seeing, see the deal was i wanted to trade a guy a 4 slot rat rack made of wood and $40 for my male mojo and then he said "they are only $100 snakes" and i already know better

Agreed... we sold our hatchling mojo a month ago... so very very late 2011 for 125 to a friend lol. I am guessing yours was not hatched in November/December.

I think he is pretty. I prefer mojos with the cream and brown over the yellow brown, personally.

i got him from a friend he was born early 2011, that is a cell phone pic, he is alot nicer in real life.
my thing is when i look around to buy one i cant find them nowhere close to that cheap and if i do then i also have to pay shipping which jacks up the price another 50 at least.

When you're trying to sell animals you'll always get pretty lowball offers from hopeful buyers. They can get pretty ridiculous. I'd say just price your animal at what you feel is reasonable and stick to it.

There is no way that I would sell him for 100 bucks. He is a nice looking mojave.

Wholesale on male mojave is about $75-$100 and retail is about $150 or so. I saw a 2010 at a show today for $175 and 2011's for $130-$150. I've seen them as low as $110. I go to 3-5 shows a month.

people can be real umm donkeys about the whole thing looking to save a buck etc. If its quality you pay more. Don't let anyone bully you into a price if you have a nice animal plus do you really want to sell to someone like that? I also don't know why mojaves have cheapened like this .. I love them. My first morph I encountered and had to have.

i got my male mojave for 100 from a local breeder he was almost 300 grams when i got him.

I've been to six shows in three states the last few months,and nice male mojos have been going for $125-$150.

It really doesn't matter what prices you see listed or what anyone else is getting. You put your snake up for sale and you get one offer of $100. You either take it or you say no thank you and hold on to the snake.

I find it odd that people get upset about getting a low ball offer for anything. You should be upset about not getting a bunch of offers. Some people never even get an offer.

Think it through. Would you be happy with $125? $150? Does the extra $ mean that much to you. Don't tell me it's the principle. Remove the emotion and just make a decision.

Why do some houses sell immediately, sometimes with a bidding war and others sit around for months or years. Price? Nope. Emotion!

The problem that I've personally found, when trying to sell bp's...is that 98% of the e-mails I get are either low ball offers...really low ball offers...and a lot of the e-mails go like this:

hEy mAn! I sawz ur snake 4 sale. I no u said $300 but wud u take 50? I don't hav a car neither. Can u bring him to me? Do u have a tank I cud hav? How long is he? Derrrrrrrr.............

By far...the only bad thing about breeding (for me at least) is selling off the non-hold backs...

That is too funny :) I've received those VERY same emails :)

Get used to it, someone is ALWAYS willing to make you an insultingly low offer in the hopes that you're desperate.
