What's the current market price for a 2010, 800gram pastel female?

[loonunit]

Yeah, if she looks like that in person, $500.

I use the price of 50 cents per gram as a baseline (seems to be the going rate on pastels) and then look at the other factors that could determine price, so at 600 grams, the base price would be about $300. Then you consider that she's a mouse feeder and that adds no value. She's got nice blushing and pattern, so maybe add $50 more. She's an early 2010 which means she could potentially breed next season if she got up to size, but on mice, that will be harder to do, so you can't really add a ton beyond that.

I'd pay $350 - $400 for this particular girl. If the risk on getting her to size fast enough is a concern, then I'd pass all together and look for another one with better potential. It's all about what you're hoping to gain by adding her to your collection.

Sorry- I had 600 gram stuck in my head. Change base price to $400 and add $50 so $450 for her plus shipping is what I would do.

Dude, she's gorgeous. I'd pay $600+ for that girl. Get her up to size, put a lesser on her next year (2012-13 season) and make your money back easily.

$500-600 for a nice looking 800g pastel like the one pictured.

My personal price range would be $300-$800 for 800 gram pastels, based on looks.

If I was selling her, I wouldn't take a penny under $600, and I'd leave the asking price around $700 for a few months before I entertained lower offers. That's pretty much entirely based on her coloration and brightness (assuming the picture is recent as well).

I pay much more for looks than I do for size.. and as a corollary, I price animals in my head VERY low for their size if they are ugly. Ugly animals are worthless for breeding. Plenty of female pastels out there I wouldn't pay $50 for, even if they were up to breeding size.

This is the pastel in question.

Holy smokes! Yeah if that's her id pay a good 5-600 in a heart beat!

But I have seen not-nearly that nice of a pastel for less on king snake.

sent via pure awesomeness!

i would have to agree 5-600 easily just because of color if she don't look that light anymore then she isn't worth it beauty is much more important than size imho

[DC Reptiles]

last girl I saw like that for sale was around $800, dont know if she sold for that but that was her asking price. I could see between 5-600.

[DemmBalls]

Nice animal!!! I would have no problem paying $400-$600 for her!
