One of the things which determines price is scarcity. In 2012, piebalds are not a scarce snake. They've been around a few years and like anything which can reproduce they become more common and therefore less rare and less expensive.

Everything comes down in price. Pieds, deserts, fires, lessers--all of it. The multiple gene combos are where the higher prices are going to be now, and I can't understand how some of them are so high. A fire and vanilla cross--wow, to me that is way over what the cost of the components would indicate. Watch how fast that price comes down over the next three or four years because there will be more of them. They'll be like pewters--pretty snakes but less expensive than they were.
