I know right? 125 for a Black Pastel pair 50% het pied sounds like a really good deal same with a male for 60. That's the same price (125) I paid for my normal pair 100 percent het. Take into account that a Black Pastel Pied costs way more then a Normal pied too so that offsets the 50% chance in my opinion. Of coarse I would look for the markers just to ease my mind a bit. However if you were determined and just bred what you had after several seasons with them you could probably produce them. If I could do a local purchase for a Black Pastel at 60 dollars I would drive there now to pick it up but I'm assuming Jon made that sell via the internet so the buyer probably ended up paying an additional 50 or so dollars for shipping on each of those purchases. As a seller I think that you have the problem of having to sell at a lower price to compensate for the buyer paying the shipping unfortunately.
