    are my prices too high?

    ok I always said I wasn't the type to drop my price just because every one else is doing it but... I have had male cinnies on KS for 3 weeks now and so far I have had zero offers on them? I thought $200 seemed like a fair price for a cinnie male but it seems like everytime I post someone else post up a proven breeder for like 150. why do the prices drop so fast. should I drop my price?

    Keep it where it is for now.

    People aren't buying yet... And remember that money is tight for many more people right now.

    Be patient.

    I'm just getting frustrated. I wish that prices were more standard for the morphs instead of just dropping 50% in a year.

    bad economy and basement breeders, maybe they are hurtin too so they gotta drop the price low. patience is a virtue and always remember the market like life is never stable so what goes up must come down and what came down has to go up.

    thanks everyone I just needed a pep talk. I never wanted to be "that guy" that drops my prices and causes everyone else to lose out.

    I'll even steer clear of prices on animals that are too low, or too good of a deal.

    Perhaps the right person just hasn't seen your ad yet

    Re: are my prices too high?

    I don't want to come off sounding too harsh, but are you serious? You've only had them up for three weeks and you want to drop the price on them? Three weeks is NOTHING. It takes 3 times that just to incubate eggs. Have a little patience and you can get what you want for them.

    This is normally a slow time for sales things will pick back up in September.

    I agree. Keep them at your price. Someone will buy them.
    On a side note, I hate when people post snakes, then 3 days later drop prices and 3 days after that they use up their 2 replys and drop prices again. People are treating BP sales like they would a garage sale.
