    Been in contact with Markus Jayne BP's and he's trying to sell me a proven pastel female for $1500. I said that seems a little high and this was the response I got.

    What is the going rate for proven breeders?
    Hard for me to sell a female I can breed to a 3 gene snake and easily make way more.

    Kind of rude I thought.....

    Can anyone let me know some of the names of other reputable BP dealers. Looking at getting my first couple BP's.

    Thanks

    I bought a couple of 1500 gram females from josh at outback reptiles for 600 each, and they were 1500 grams after laying a week before. He has been really good to buy from as well as he doesn't just forget about you after the money is exchanged.

    I got a male lemon pastel last year hes a 2010
    the day i got him

    3 weeks ago horrible dark lighting

    he was only $50 and he looks amazing so it depends on the breeder and the need for him i think well most breeders go by quality of the bp

    That doesn't seem high. Proven breeder females are in high demand and personally I get offended if someone thinks my prices are high. I charge what I feel is fair and if you don't like it buy from someone else but it is rude to question someone's pricing. You can offer less but don't tell someone their pricing is to high... Just my honest opinion on breeder females.

    I dont think its wrong to give your opinion on prices. If someone came to me and said hey I really want to buy a snake from you but your double the price of others; I would consider changing my price to have a happy customer. I personally sent the creator of this post a link to a female proven pastel for $500 plus shipping. Now why would they pay $1500 for one when they can get a good looking one for $500.


    150 AND COUNTING...

    I wouldn't let my breeder female pastels go for any LESS than $1500. How many breeder pastel females are available out there in the market? Markus Jayne was correct - the animal is far more valuable staying in his collection than selling it. If he's going to part with it, then the price he lets it go for needs to make it worth it to him.

    It IS rude to TELL a breeder that their price is too high. It's their animal, they know what their price point is that makes it worth it to them to let the animal go.

    However, there's nothing wrong with asking "would you be willing to take $XX for it?". But telling a breeder that you've seen others for less isn't cool in my book. If you've seen others for less, buy from them. You obviously liked mine better, or you would have already purchased the other less costly animal.

    BTW, I don't know what line that pastel is that I posted above, nor does the breeder (he bred 2 mixed line supers to the mom, and there's no way to know which male sired her).

    My other pastels are NERD lemon pastels (as verified by Kevin).

    All I said is
    "$1500 that seems a little high,what line of pastel is it"

    Is that not a fair question? I think it is.

    I don't really think what you said was rude, but maybe wording it a little differently would have been better. Maybe next time either make a counter offer of closer to what you are looking to spend. Or, if you are really far apart on what you are thinking say something like "Thanks, but that's a little more than I was hoping to spend".

    BTW, I don't think the response that you got back was at all rude. You said his price high, and he basically told you that his price is what he needs to make it worth it for him to sell her.
