how much $ for Pinstripe?

[B.O.S Reptiles]

.... Before everyone jumps in and says "I though you hated ball pythons!! Why would you buy another??" I am not buying a Pinstripe... I was just wondering how much female Pinstripes usually go for. I thought it was somewhere around $200? A local breeder (whom I respect a lot) is selling a female Pinstripe for $75. I just thought that was interesting. Maybe that's average pricing? Idk.. Thanks in advance. Again... Just curious

Sounds like a bunch of bull. Not the pin for 75$. 10 to 1 you end up with a pinstripe.

id sell males for 75.00 any female single gene morph is worth atleast 200 in my book.

If it's $75, it's probably not a female or there's something wrong with it...

Hmmmm.... I have only been to one show (so I am no expert here), but when I was there, not many females were less than $100. THAT BEING SAID, I bought a male pinstripe hatchling for $80. The breeder was willing to negotiate it lower but after not seeing many pinstripes, and how expensive other morphs were, I just gave him the $80 - I believe it was worth it
I probably could have gotten my BP for around $60, so it might not be unheard of to find a female for $75. But you may want to ask for it to be sexed again to be sure.

Good luck!

I'm seeing female bumblebees for $250ish, and female lemonblast for $250ish ...
While $75 is on the low side, $200 is mostly unrealistic at this point.

I picked up a breeding size male for $75.00 from the CRBE 2013. Unfortunately he has a slightly misshaped head but I bought him anyways.

Not sure which one to pair him up with, my Pastel and Bumble Bee are almost breeding weight/age but I'm gonna hold off for now

I would expect 150-175 for females, 100-125 for males. the market isn't what it used to be so you see people practically giving them away, like the breeder you respect. But people who sell animals for that cheap are "market crashers," and do a lot of damage to the market. He'll probably find out that selling that low won't be worth his time over the next couple of seasons and get out of the hobby - leaving the prices low and damaging everyone elses ability to sell at reasonable prices. Ii have very little respect for "breeders," that undercut everyone.

Sometimes it's just easier to wholesale them out and move on to next season. Nothing wrong with that. I do it and I know a lot of other guys that do it. And 65-75 is about wholesale on a single gene

There's a difference between wholesaling it, knowing there will be a mark-up at resale, rather than selling female pinstripes at $75 on the open market. Sometimes breeders produce so many animals there's no time to move them all individually and I understand that - but I am hearing from more and more people that they are getting into breeding for next season to undercut everyone in the open market. Almost proud that people may be annoyed by it. It's ridiculous. The demand is out there, I don't understand the need to sell at half market price to public buyers.
