Whats this guy worth?

I have bee givin the option to buy a 100% proven Genetic Stripe male bp. He is
From the NARCB show in Arlington that was hosted by USARK. The breeders are Lynn & Ken Kubic from Boas and Balls. Any idea what he's worth? I want to make sure i'm not over paying

How old is he?
How big is he?

Do you mean a proven het G-stripe? that's what I'm guessing...

Did they send you a picture?

Pics have been requested, for what they are asking, he'd better be a true g stripe not just het. lol... Anyways I will post when I recieve the pics... Just for S&G what is the price range on true g stripes and hets?

Proven breeder male genetic stripe is like $700 or so that I have seen browsing KS and fauna. Bigger name breeders tend to fetch higher prices, but you are also buying piece of mind knowing who its coming from, ya know? How much are they giving him to you for (if you dont mind me asking)?

Wow James really. Ok everyone it's a 100% get proven genetic stripe. He won it at an auction at the NARBC, and he's only asking 50 bucks that's a damn good deal, he posted all the in the ad

just so there is no misunderstanding by anyone I have no problem on the price or if hes het or not. I simply wanted to know what he may be worth. Yes I am paying $50 and I honestly find that to be a steal for any bp... Please dont take offence to me asking people I trust for insight.

just to clairify this is the ad, I was unsure if he was het or not... " I have a male proven 100% Genetic Stripe that we won at the NARBC show in Arlington in an auction hosted by USARK to raise money for USARK. The breeder was donated by Lynn & Ken Kubic from Boas and Balls and is a solid animal. I'm asking only $50. Please message me with interests"... Again I am more then willing to buy him.. Sorry to offend anyone for wanting know what he was truly worth.

This thread hurt my brain.

Also to clear up the over paying statement, I was given misinformation and was told by a breeder that I can find genetic stripes in the $35 range at shows. I now know this was bull and I appologize for the comment.

Not so sure anyone is offended James...for future reference though, when wondering about the pricing on specific animals, the classifieds(kingsnake, fauna) are usually a good place to start.

Thanks, I know ks and fauna are good looking sites but I like to see what everyday people are willing to pay for certain bps... Seems some of the prices on some sites are really high.. Case & point, I bought my cinny fader with genetic blk back for $100 at the local show, I looked up cinny faders and they werr way higher priced... Guess I just need to learn more and understand how to put value on certain things, just figured if I had put that I was buying a genetic stripe male for $50 then asked what yall thought he was worth I would get the basic he's worth what you paid responce. And like I said I was unsure if he was het or not and was told some bad information... Sucks cuz now I look like a jerk...

I thought you were saying it was a visual genetic stripe breeder male. Those are worth about $700 give or take. A het genetic stripe male is still worth $200 or so. $50 is a good pick up. Also, if you snagged a cinny black back fader for $100 then you got a hell of a deal. Would you mind posting pics of him? Sounds awesome, thanks.

I've meant to ask about this before, as a cinny genetic black back fader amounts to a 3 gene animal that I would be surprised to go for under $1,500...maybe more, I don't know because I've never seen one for sale. What I do know is that for whatever reason, black backs are relatively common with cinnies, and that I believe fader and genetic black backs aren't 2 genes that are being worked with extensively by a lot of people.

very true, the back story to this guy is the breeder is from KS. He has a been workingthe fader gene for a few years. i'm not sure on all the details but I know he had a pewter from the same clutch going for 950 +/- . All I know is my cinny is stayin with me for a very long time...:D

I'm not offended just pointing out facts bud, If it says proven genetic stripe that means its proven to produce them. IF it just said genetic strip for sale then, i personally don't see any fader in your cinny but that's just me i could be wrong but most of the faders i have seen have allot of pattern faded/missing

I'm sorry but I don't agree.. That add really isn't worded right.. A proven genetic stripe would be a visual genetic stripe that is a proven breeder. Yes they put 100% in there but left out the word het so it is confusing. It makes people think the add was written by someone who has no clue about genetics and may not be sure what they have so of course this will cause questions and that is fully understandable.. The word proven means proven breeder if the word het is not in the add. It is a confusing add that does not properly explain what the animal is.

Idk I understood what was being said I've seen other ads worded the same way.

Everything is fine i'm really excited to add him to my collection, if and when it happends, i'll post pics
