Price Question

[MasonC2K]

So I've noticed that, in general, females sale for more than males. I was wondering how to determine a female price for a particular morph. For most things I just got to KS and Fauna and search to get an idea. But I am only finding males for the specific morph I want to sell. So what would you do? Is there a rule of thumb percentage to hike up the female price?

Say the average male is $100. What would the female be?

Thanks.

It depends on the quality of the animal alot too. If you have a picture that would help and id toss out an estimate. I cant think of a morph where the males avg $100 except for maybe an average looking pastel or yellowbelly.

I was just throwing that out as an example since I thought it would be easier to do math on. The real price I am looking at is $700 on average for a male.

Have you tried this site?

It seems to do a pretty good job of looking through various ads and showing prices.

Don't forget to factor is weight as larger females will sell for higher prices as well

Thanks. It's neat but still in beta. It only found 2 ads when I found 4 on my own between KS and Fauna.

I think it depends on the morph. It could be anywhere from 10-50% higher. This only seems to apply to morphs that have been around for some time and are more readily available. For example, Banana males $40k, females $10k.

I guess i would base my price on snake market first then use the classifieds as a guideline.
Depends on the quality...don't under sell yourself when it comes to prices if you've got quality snakes, which i know you do. Maybe start on the higher end, you can always lower your prices if they don't seem to sell.

What animal are you trying to sell? Is there a reason you didn't tell us what it was? It really would help quite a bit more if we knew lol.

Can I do that? I don't want it to be construed as advertising. I'll tell you in a PM though.
