Is a 1yr old Bumblebee male worth buying for $700?

Hence my comment about how it's such a buyer driven market. It's the buyers, like kiddomarc here, that decide what's a fair price.

Without knowing what the current market average is, and going by the looks alone of this particular snake, I would say it's worth it. But if I know there are very comparable snakes available everywhere else, and this one is asking several hundred dollars more, with no apparent benefit to that extra cost, then no, it is not a fair price. Not to the buyer, at least.

Yes, and no. If kiddomarc decides that's not a fair price for that animal, there's likely to be another buyer who will think that it is.

Where the "problem" with the market is, is sellers panic and cut prices too quickly when an animal doesn't sell in a few days or a few weeks. If it's a nice animal, and the seller believes in the quality of their animal, and the price is a fair market value, if they don't compromise their price, there will be a discriminating buyer out there for that animal.
