Basically they want them for almost nothing,I was selling $100 200g base morphs & they would still go to the flippers & buy. I wholesaled alot of males because it was aggravating me,most people who buy high BPs are breeders not just the normal public,I had a $2500 Firebee on my table the best looking BP at the whole show & I think two people knew what it was lol!!! Also I think the smaller you are the harder it is to sell high end,sure the big guys will buy your stuff & then resell it top dollar!!! I know trust meOriginally Posted by JohnNJ
Maybe I'm taking it for granted but I presume all sellers build in a negotiating buffer into their price. A lot of people do not want to pay the asking price and will haggle. Most people will not pay above the going rate but that's ok. The target market for a superior snake is an experienced hobbyist or breeder that's looking for quality, not the average guy.
As an example - does the price of quality dogs go down because of the backyard breeders selling their puppies way below market value? Nope. People that know seek out quality bloodlines. It should work similarly for morphs.
I'm not an expert. I'm just thinking out loud.
