    Simply over valuing. You can value your snakes at billions, doesn't mean that's what you get.

    This is what I mean. Some people think because they bred and hatched the animal its worth its weight in gold. I've seen some that over 300 for a tiny baby, almost what you would say a runt.

    I think offering $150 for a baby cinnamon was a fair deal.

    Re: BP prices.

    For a high quality cinnamon female, I'd also charge $150. If she doesn't sell, I'll just keep her. When she's put on more weight, I can sell her for more or keep her for my own breeding.

    My cinnamons have floating connected pattern down the sides, and amazing blushing, both traits that command more than the "normal" patterned cinnies.

    The price isn't controlled by how much 'you' are willing to pay, it's controlled by the most (read: average) that someone is.

    its funny to see someone complaining about too high prices, while people complain about how the prices are dropping all the time

    but seriously, you can now even get combos at really low prices. pewter, bee, firefly, super pastel, lemonblast, i often see posts where people mention that they got one of these and paid in the very low 3 digits for it.
    The Big Bang almost certainly (beyond reasonable doubt) happened 13.7 billion years ago. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Evolution is a fact, evolutionary theory explains why it happens and provides four different lines of evidence that coalesce to show that evolution is a fact. If you disagree, send me a PM.
    One third of the global economy relies on technology that is based on quantum mechanics, especially quantum electrodynamics (electron-photon or electron-electron interactions). If you disagree, send me a PM.
    Time Dilation is real, it is so real that all clocks if they are precise enough can measure it, and GPS could not possibly work without it.
    If you disagree, send me a PM.

    The 4 philosophically most important aspects of modern science are: Evolutionary theory, Cosmology, Quantum mechanics, and Einsteins theory of general relativity. Understand these to get a grip of reality.

    I think many people haggle, which is fine but I think sometimes breeders feel a need to move things fast so they go ahead and knock off the $50 that they would agree to and on the last day of the show go ahead and accept the $30 under offer from a buyer.

    If you feel like breeding might be where you are heading, then the investment in the higher dollar morphs might be something to aim for in the future since while you will not sell too many of those offspring at the original market value, as the market price comes down and more people can afford the morph, you will have plenty of well started or maybe even adult specimens that can be sold readily and at least let you break even. Obviously though there are no guarantees.

    I have just read through this and thought "He he he; you think your prices are high?!"

    I'm in the UK: (all prices converted to dollars to help you guys ) most of these are breeders prices so miles cheaper than the rep stores!
    My pastel was $285
    Lesser was $360
    Mojave was only $131 as I got him in a deal with the lesser; should have been $196
    My het albino boy was $115
    My bee, albino and het gs cost $575 I got them together. My albino by herself should have cost this!
    Finally my spider was $164

    You pay for the work gone into these beautiful animals I think, a 5 gene animal can take years! Whilst we all like to grab our bargains we have to be willing to pay the price at times too. I would be like a kid in a sweet shop over in the US. You guys have a buyer's market, whilst the UK sits in the seller's market (just). If a BP became too cheap they would possibly be more over-bred and end up like bearded dragons over here; too many animals not enough demand.


    Just to add: At these prices I got many of these at such ridiculous deals other buyer's here have been shocked at my fortune!
