after seeing this posting on the ball python general forum I have many questions this is the link to original post:
http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...imals-for-sale
It basically says to read this article:
http://ballpythonbreeder.com/2009/04...price-animals/
after reading all this i'm left with questions
1) why hasn't this pricing site been made? it would be used and I think everyone would appreciate it if it was legit.
2) Being this is my first year and I'm a hobbiest I know what I do isn't going to fix the problem of undercutting but I don't want to contribute to it. My question is what are fellow hobbiest doing to figure out the price of their animals? I've been fallowing bp prices for certain morphs for a couple of years and I remember when i first started looking seeing pieds no lower then $900. this year I have seen pieds for as low as $565 no joke.
I was thinking of looking at all big breeder sites getting an average and then taking 5 to 10% off of that average. The reason being people buy from big breeders for the assurance thats why they deserve to list higher prices. I can't offer the same assurance as their names can so my pricing should be slightly lower. Am I wrong in thinking this? clearly the current undercutting method isn't working. so how should I figure out my pricing?
