Market Prices?

[monk90222]

I read somewhere pastels where 1000 bucks in 04... (I dont know about that that was before my time) but 5 years later I just got 2 females for 150. seems said but the market is what the community makes it!

I bought my first Pastel male in 2005 and he was $900. I thought nothing of shelling out that much money for a pastel because I wanted to get into Ball breeding. You can pick up a 09 Pastel male for $85 at a show. That is sad.

3. If you breed quality balls, people will buy them, even at the higher end of market prices.

I agree but 90% of the people that inquire about my hatchlings want me to take $50 to $100 off the price and I do not even price my hatchlings at the higher end of the price range. These people do not understand what goes into producing that snake. 4 or 5 years ago, $100 off of a $1400 pinstripe male is not so bad, but $100 off of a $250 pinstripe is a bit much....
