The price ranges for pastels are pretty big. I recently saw a pastel female for $125 but it was not the best looking pastel.

The more you pay, the nicer the pastel. The less you pay, the crappier the pastel.

I bought my girl in jan 2009 for $200 and she is a great looking pastel and is still super yellow. I think $200 is a good price for a hatchling/juvenile pastel female.
