NERD reptiles fairly priced?

[RobNJ]

I think the OP has a fair question.

I see the OP's question as "Are the NERD snakes worth the premium over current market?".

Ok, so fair question, albeit a poorly worded question.

He does not seem to be saying that he will not pay it if they really are. Also, he is not the first person to dare utter that NERD pricing may be out of whack with the market.

It's all nonsensical complaining...the ball python market is arbitrary at best. There is nothing to regulate it.

It appears they are willing to negotiate a bit (as most folks are). And, that is cool. But to be honest, 11% off something marked up 60% is not that much. Kind of reminds me of department store jewelry.

There is no mark up because there is no set market. People charge what they can get, and NERD can command higher prices than most. Does that mean they're being unfair? Not at all. You can buy an "I Love NY" t-shirt in Times Square for $25, and you can buy that same exact shirt at a rest stop in western PA for $8.50...does that mean that the guy in Times Square is being unfair?

Saying that NERD is selling at "mark up" prices is ridiculous...and you will surely see this when you go to sell snakes and see how many people out there are selling animals at $0.40-$0.50 on the dollar of so called "market price", making it more difficult for you to sell your snakes...you'll be much more appreciative of those who price and can actually sell at premium prices.

Look at Hypos, they are as hard to make as a Pied, but the value is not there.

That may be because there are a lot more hypos out there.
