In my opinion, people are too afraid to undercut an undercut especially when it's already that low. I'll admit I'm talking more on a show level than Internet Sales, but the point is the same.

Thank you for this comment! It is so important to acknowledge the difference as well as similarities in show sales versus internet sale!
Shows many times have tighter variances in prices than internet, at least the ones I have been to. I have heard of other shows being different from this, but the shows I have been to have not been so. So when it comes to the deals they give, alot of times you may find they are pretty close from booth to booth, person to person for similar snakes since they also start at tighter together base prices. Thing is the deals are not flaunted and that is important; the next person may not know nor get the same deal you got, either better or worse. This is important, read past comments for why, I don't want to say everything all over again, but within the shows things just seem a little more balanced.
Jumping the comparison over to internet prices, well I have usually not paid full price for a snake at a show unless I truly wanted that particular snake, but also usually know I can get online and find a better deal. At the show I get a chance to meet the person and see how into it they are, see the snake in person, and other little things, so I am OK with paying a little extra for this, and it helps them with gas money and what not to have even come to the show, so I am personally supportive of shows and the different prices compared to the internet. It is important though to acknowledge these difference and understand them instead of just saying "shows are too high priced" which I have heard a lot of, but there are reasons for this on both the sellers and the buyers side.
unfortunately, this is where I will stop my rant on shows, but if it comes up again I have more to say . Thank you again for pointing out another important point to be made that wasn't referenced before.
