Ya those seem like good auction prices. I don't have much experience with what actually gets sold at which price and how long it's on the market before selling so I can't speak from experience. I have seem most Black Pastel combos sell for much higher prices then the same combo with Pastel in them. I could list several 2 gene animals off the top of my head that advertise for 200+ dollars more if it's a Black Pastel oppose to a Pastel. In my opinion the 50 male and 100- female is a Pastel price, add 50 to that for a Black Pastel and you have my guess. Of coarse ball python pricing is pretty variable so not much would surprise me.
Where are you finding them that cheap? The cheapest male I have seen was seventy five dollars.
Probably just about anywhere.
Did it sell for $75 or for sale at $75?
I based the prices off animals I've been able to sell over last few months. I got $60 for a 400 gram black pastel male that I had for sale for a while.
I recently got $125 for a pair of black pastels 50% Het Pied.
I know right? 125 for a Black Pastel pair 50% het pied sounds like a really good deal same with a male for 60. That's the same price (125) I paid for my normal pair 100 percent het. Take into account that a Black Pastel Pied costs way more then a Normal pied too so that offsets the 50% chance in my opinion. Of coarse I would look for the markers just to ease my mind a bit. However if you were determined and just bred what you had after several seasons with them you could probably produce them. If I could do a local purchase for a Black Pastel at 60 dollars I would drive there now to pick it up but I'm assuming Jon made that sell via the internet so the buyer probably ended up paying an additional 50 or so dollars for shipping on each of those purchases. As a seller I think that you have the problem of having to sell at a lower price to compensate for the buyer paying the shipping unfortunately.
