how much would you pay for this 1000+ albino female?

[SquamishSerpents]

so for sale, there is a 1000+ gram albino female. the guy would like me to make an offer. he paid $1000 in October 2008, and back then she was 180 grams. He also said when he bought this albino, there was an 07 for sale who was 800 grams, and they wanted $1600 for her. i know the price of albinos has come way down, so would it be fair to offer $1200, or is that a complete lowball? here is the only photo of her that i have:

800 tops. But thats just me. At shows they're in that 450-500 range for a hatch(ive seen HCs for 450 , from a small vendor though). Shes not full grown yet.
You pay extra for the time put in and they're closer to breeding. If it came down to that price i'd get a 250g for 500 and feed her up. I paid 500 for mine at a show from a big breeder in that same month and she was 230g.
Do you have breeding plans for her soon ? If not get a hatch, they're all over.

I don't think that's a low ball. What are the brown dots on her though? Newsprint that's smeared on her, or injuries?

You gotta figure she will be nowhere near the price of a hatchling because she is getting closer to breeding weight. I even see 1400 gram yellowbelly females going for $1200.00

I think we're on the verge of some crazy price reductions.(Good, bad or indifferent) Things on kingsnake and getting crazy cheap. Good if your buying but i think not good overall because it hurts everyones collection value. Obviously the economy doesn't help and theres so much supply now, so many people are breeding.
On another post people are speculating Bees will be 250 .

She is Sept-Oct 08 hatch which means she is about a year old so no matter her size she still should not be bred for at least 1 more winter which would be 2010-2011 season

Also remember Katia is located in Canada (if i remember correctly) so prices are a little higher up here for us.

IMO $1600 is reasonable for a 1000+ gram albino female. I would offer somewhere around $1400 - $1500

[trott]

Ah Canada , yeah more expensive plus Cities. On Kingsnake they're ranging anywhere from 800-1200 for that size. But thats US prices.

IMHO a 1000+ Gram female visual recessive is priceless..would I pay 1200.00 for one in a heart beat..
