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

    Quote Originally Posted by JDL View Post

    a few years ago lcd and plasma tvs were 2 and 3 times the price they are today but i dont see anyone of us complaining about that (maybe someone who paid the higher price).

    we all sit back and call this a hoby but complain about the prices like a business. if this is just a hoby treat it like one, when it comes to most hobies you lose money in every aspect of it, i have yet seen any sort of return on the thousands ive spent on my r/c's (i only buy top quality there too) and i look at snakes in the same way if i can happen to get a couple dollars to pay for some food from breeding them cool if not who cares i love the hoby and thats all it is
    First, check my signature link about cheap vs. quality for a more in depth explanation. I will ask what I feel my animals are worth to ME. If they don't sell because I believe my animals are better than average, then it's no skin off my teeth to hang onto them, because I don't produce more than I can comfortably keep.

    I don't shop the price, I shop the animal and the looks of the animal and THEN I ask about price. I EXPECT a primo looking animal to be priced higher than your average animal.

    My average babies will be offered at what the market is asking for average animals, but my primo animals will be priced accordingly.
