how much $ for Pinstripe?

[Durhambreeder]

There's a difference between wholesaling it, knowing there will be a mark-up at resale, rather than selling female pinstripes at $75 on the open market. Sometimes breeders produce so many animals there's no time to move them all individually and I understand that - but I am hearing from more and more people that they are getting into breeding for next season to undercut everyone in the open market. Almost proud that people may be annoyed by it. It's ridiculous. The demand is out there, I don't understand the need to sell at half market price to public buyers.

Funny enough, once my fiancee and I buy a house, I will be using an extra room strictly as a breeding/business dealing room. My goal with BPs in the end is to hatch out a BEL with my Mojave male and Lesser female. But the Lesser female is still 2.5 years away I am guessing from breeding age/weight, but my pastel and bumblebee females are almost there. 2 years old (roughly) and 950g (I'm not powerfeeding either, just one small/medium rat a week).

If I get a BEL, even only one, I am keeping it for myself until the day it dies as I think its a beautiful looking snake. If I get more than one (fingers crossed) I will sell the males @ $800 and females at around $1200. I know the average around here in the Durham region is $1000-$1100 for males and $1300-$1700 for females.

Why will I undercut? Quick $. Does it hurt the market in the long run, maybe, but with only 1-2 selling I don't see it posing a big issue. The cheapest BEL (which didn't look as white as I wanted it to) I saw at the 2013 CRBE that just passed was $900.00. However that said I don't ever plan on buying one, I want to hatch one out as I know they're tough to hatch out due to rarity.

Right now I'm trying to decide what to pair with my male (breeding size) pinstripe, my pastel or my bumblebee
