People try to wheel and deal on snakes like they are used cars, and it gets ridiculous sometimes. The lowest price you see out there is not the price you should expect to pay.

2) Sellers need to get over their phobia of raising prices. Sometimes, a morph will become more popular than expected, or less will be produced than anticipated, and it will sell out--you won't be able to find them on the market commonly. When that happens, the price SHOULD go up, because demand is high enough to support a higher price tag. You can see this at work in the incredible divide between male prices and female prices. Honestly, female yellowbellies are TERRIFICALLY undervalued on the market. You can rarely find them, but when you do, they're priced at a mere 200 or 300. Everyone wants them, so why are they so low? It's not as though people won't pay more for them--they certainly would. With everyone pricing them low, their expectations are set by seeing 'what's most common'. If breeders priced them according to demand and supply, buyers would adjust their expectations, and the price would go up.
that is true.but you also have to flow with the economy too.anyway it goes you have to save save save or wait for the better deal .but i agree with what your saying just have to hold out from selling gold at the pawn shop price unless you have to eat.its hit or miss.
