Because quality of pastels vary so much so do the prices on them. I have seen real browned out pastel female breeders as low as 500 and i have seen nice ones for alot more. I just sold one that was 1800 grams for 1000. And she was worth every penny. A real smoker. But like del said if theres one youbare eyeballin post a pic of it. Youll get oppinions quick
