    A genuine het lav pair generally sells for about $2000-2500.

    its worth going back, sometimes in life you just get the one in a life time deal... what if this is it?

    Could be. But, logically, if something is being advertised at 1/7th of the current going rate...you just gotta use your head.

    Could be. But the odds that they're a $400 pair of normals are even higher.

    Run, and run farther. People get good deals once in a while sure, but if its to good of a deal to be true.... Why would I sell you something for $5 if I could sell it for $10 w/ out any effort........

    Here is the question you need to ask yourself

    How will you feel in 3, 5 years (maybe more) if those animals do not prove out and all you produce are normals?

    Will the time and money invested be worth it?

    No one in their right mind would sell a het lavender pair at that price when they can sell them at $2000.

    Buy from a reputable breeder otherwise you will be very disappointed.

    The Enclosure, Its on Golden Mile Highway. I went today and they kinda avoided the lav.'s so i'll just forget about it. Your probably right about them being normals but meh. I wouldnt have bought them without good paperwork anyways.

    Clear
    Re: Price Check
    I am a risk taker and would ask tons and tons of questions and see if I could get something in writing. Yes that price is way to low for what they should sell for.
