Why We Are Idiots For Using Kingsnake.com To Price Our Animals

where this is hurting me,is last year,i bought my first morph,a 300gram blonde pastel male for 250,now my brother,and a friend of ours,is all in a breeding group,which means anything we sell,,gets cut in 3rds,and when now,,just ONE season later,i am looking at blonde pastels going for 100 or less for males,and last season i paid 250,wtf is that?,these prices are declining WAY to fast.i would love tot urn this into a large pet shop/show room/tourist stop in and hang out place eventually,but how is that going to happen,selling all morphs,for in a couple years,under 500 for everything at this rate.at this rate guys,in 3 years we will have to PAY people at shows,to take our normals home,as out pastel lines witll be 35 dollars for males,we are raising up a het pied male,and 50% girls,we are looking at another 12 months as the earliest of producing a pied,by the time we get ours we are holding back,the first one we sll to the public,will be the price of a 400 het female hatchling now.ALL of this started with Morph King a few years ago,,and see whats happening now?,i would of GLADLY paid 500 for my pastel male,if that was the going price.but in just one season,to see the price i paid cut in half,het pied males for 50 now,that means 50% het's have to be around 30,which means normal males already have to be around 20 or so,how much lower can we possibly go?

This right here is the way of thinking that is so dangerous to prices. You don't HAVE to price your animals lower than the other guys. Price them at what you think they're worth. If you pick your pairings carefully and produce quality offspring, price them HIGHER than the average pastel on the market. I can tell you right now I won't be selling ANY of the male pastels I produce this season for $100. I'll keep them myself before I do that. $20 for normals? Again, I'll keep them myself before I sell them at that price. Petsmart sells normals for $80 each, why can't you?
