    Where are people getting their prices???

    Ok, So I know there have probably been tons of threads on this but I couldnt help but ask the question. I see varying prices which is expected. And I do know that you get what you pay for and better quality snakes are going to cost a little more. But then I see prices like $530 for a hatchling male lesser??? WTH? I see these for $200 all day long. Why the 200%+ markup? I see some people asking 1.5-2.0 the market price for snakes. I just think to myself "good luck selling that."

    Just wondering where people are getting their prices? Is this a tactic of trying to "up" the market?

    Just curious.


    150 AND COUNTING...

    Some people base it on last years market, some people just take a wild guess..

    It just depends, I suppose.

    Everyone is entitled to mark prices where they see fit.

    Sometimes it's just misunderstanding, and then you see "Price Reduced!"

    It's a hard call sometimes. I struggle with it on occasion.

    http://www.snakemarket.com

    I found this site one day, i find it to be pretty helpful when selling or buying. You have to scroll down a little but just type in what you are searching for and it will bring up a list of current and past prices. Even current prices of older animals. EX. the 2012 price of a 2010 Lesser. Hope that helps. It helps me a lot. I kind of forcast near future breeding projects too!

    But i agree some people come out of there @** with prices!

    It's a free market, in any free market you will see varying prices.
    A person can ask what they want to, but the market will dictate the price for the most part.
    Good old supply and demand.
