Morph Prices at Expo

[AaronP]

While prices are falling, and probably demand is too, I still think demand for top notch examples of all morphs will still be there. Too many people think "Ooooooh!! A pastel for $100!!! I'll take it!!" when that pastel is a crappy example, and will brown out so much it will just look like a nice normal as an adult. Cheap ≠ quality, and quality isn't cheap, so while prices will fall, top notch specimens I think will still retain some value (maybe less, but still have value)

But here's just my guess anyways...

spider - $200-300
axanthic - $300-500
pastel -$100-300 (I think a killer pastel will still fetch some money. Too many mediocre ones out there.)
super pastel - $500+
pinstripe -$300
mojave -$200-300
lesser - $500
albino -$400-500
high contrast albino - $400-500

I generally agree with this but I think the initial price would be higher, you'll probably have to bargain with some people to get some of those prices though (Like the Axanthics)

Maybe but either on KS or fauna a couple of days ago they had an adult proven male TSK axanthic for $800 shipped so a '09 for ~$400 doesn't seem that off. And I remember seeing them towards the end of last year selling in the $500 range so they're definitely falling, but you could very well be right...

Prices are indeed falling, but the wonderful thing about that is, you have more room to invest in quality ball pythons if and when the market demand goes up once more.

That will depend on the line of Axanthic, Joliff and TSK for example are not as popular as VPI Axanthics.

daaaaaaang...

that price you quoted on the axanthic is blowing me away.

Guess i've been out of the loop.

Its my opinon that the prices will go down on certain morphs but its up to the breeders to mantain the prices. I'm not a big breeder but I also don't breed allot of different morphs either. I'm all about albinos; my fav.

I will keep my prices on albinos for males at $475 to $500 and females $550 to $600 depending the High Contrast.

I have been looking around at prices for axanthics and they are high priced. I have found some 08s for over 1000. A het pair is more than $600-700! I am very interested in getting one but looks like I will be saving my pennies for a while!

You never know what you may find at an expo.
I picked my male lesser up for $300.
He's a BEAUTIFUL lesser, perfect health...I've been waiting for the catch, but haven't found it. He never misses a meal.
He's on of the best lesser I've seen, IMO, of course.....
