Price check please?

I've had a couple male pastaves and a male Mojave up on a couple different sites for a while now and haven't been getting any responses so I'm wondering if I have them listed too high. Also I don't have a reputation anywhere really so that's probably a factor..


What's a reasonable price for these guys?

All are 2013 males around 100 grams or so






Sorry I'd this is the wrong spot for this question, I wasn't really sure where to put it haha

Thanks!

Single gene males will continue to decrease in price for a while, especially with base co-dom genes.

I'd take a stab and say 150 for the mojo and 225 for the pastave?

I just found your KS ad - your prices are right in line or below all of the other 1.0 Mojave/Pastave males that I've seen available. Plus, I like the quality of your snakes and the quality of your pictures vs a lot of the other ads. I don't see any reason to drop prices unless you're in serious need for the cash immediately.

Have you thought of other advertising ideas? People like to see "Create your own _____ with these!" or adding weights (or pics of them on a scale) to boost some interest?

Hope this helps - good luck with your sales!

I wouldn't say quite that low for a pastave, even if male; all the male pastaves I've seen for sale are sitting at just about $350 across the board. Plus I think yours is excellent quality; that's exactly the kind of pastave I sought out for my female, and when I found her, she was $100 above market price, but I was willing to pay for quality.
Stand your ground! You're selling quality animals, don't undersell, the right buyer will come. I agree, maybe try advertising techniques, descriptive adjectives, etc.

[MrLang]

Yeah, I think the prices I quoted are pretty low. Maybe add 50-75 to each of the prices I said.

[Scubaf250]

Sweet, I think I'll leave them where they are then. I'm not in a rush to sell them and I did sell one already to a local person.

I have through about marketing in different ways but haven't changed up the ads yet... I think that I'll do that tonight when I get off work =P

Thanks guys!

I concur with the above points. Stand your ground. Both are great quality example of the morphs. It's all in the pitch and presentation (or what one reads). "Pair this gem up with your Special female" for great looking Crystals - Here is the missing gem for Mystic Potions, etc.... . I think there will always be a market for single gene snakes. With the number of genes being crammed these days it would be difficult / no time to spare for some folks to breed back power houses looking for that 1 gene animal to start a new project they just thought of. I'd just go buy a great looking example. Best of luck, they will find homes for sure. They are awesome looking!!
