So I found this multi gene ball python morph on Morphmarket for sale at a really fantastic price, turns out the guy that bought it is not a snake guy and it was his first snake, had it as a baby for just about a month or two, then turned around and resold it on Morphmarket for half price. The twist was that he said local pick up only and luckily he was just a couple hours drive from my house, he bought it originally for $1,500 and was selling it for $800.

Your probably thinking that was a great deal, right? This was the perfect morph at the perfect price and it was local, sounds good... The only problem is that once he posted that discounted snake on Morphmarket the 'traditional' price of $1,500 is now gone. Right after he posted it several people posted similar snakes for $800 trying to match that price, even though he clearly stated in his ad that he was selling for half price and had to move it fast. Now it seems the price for that snake came down about 50% overnight just because of this one incident. That's good for the people buying them, not so good for the breeders. You may want to give this some thought before you price match Morphmarket based on one posting and try to match or undercut the competition. You may singlehandedly crash the market for your particular snake!
