Sounds to me like he's trying to pass off a cheap snake as an expensive one.

As far as I know...
Brown backs are simply black backs with a bit of extra blushing. Black backs can be genetic, but may NOT be genetic, so while they look neat, they may not pass on anything to the offspring at all. Brown backs with a LOT of blushing might pass on a lot of blushing to the babies, but maybe not.
In my opinion, it's a genetic "crapshoot" on those particular snakes in the pictures sent to you. I wouldn't pay more than for a really nice normal male I considered a possible "dinker".

Did you look at the link provided above? They are not just Black Backs with a lot of blushing. They are lacking " dark" pigment all around not just in the blushing.
To the OP, that snake does NOT look like a Brown Back to me. It does look to be a Black Back. Who knows if it is a Genetic Black Back ? As others have said I would not pay more than " normal".
