For me price isn't as much an issue as the quality of the animal. Would I pay 350.00 for a Really nice Spider male. YEP and not think twice. Once people realize that the price is per animal and not morph specific you will quickly get past a little higher price for a hot animal. I have paid over retail for animals before simply because I wanted them and that was the price they were asking.
If you like the snake and can afford 350.00 the buy it. Personally I think 350.00 for a spider to too cheap. but thats just me.
