If you are not in the elite crew that has to have the best of the best, that is not a bad price. Granted, those aren't the best pics to show color, but i see some decent patterns. If i were in the market to own a pastel I would go for it. If I were in the market to breed a better/best pastel or pastel mix, i would save a whole lot more money and hope to find whatever it is I think is better. Just keep in mind that not everyone can have or afford the "best", and the day you do get the "best" someone will have something better! Also the genes are there, the ugliest example could have come from the best example and could produce the new best! You never know!
