Honestly I don't see the price of an animal as being the deciding factor of if it 'good' or not. It boils down to finding good deals. All of these animals were under $500 except the Suri. Another example would be Gerald, JM's SD ultra Ivory retic male that he won on auction for like $400ish. If you buy an animal from a 'big name' breeder, then you can dang well bet you will pay a premium for it. Does it mean, it is better than the small time breeder who paid the premium for animals from said big name breeder and then breeds his own and sells for cheaper? No because they are the same animals genetically. The key is to just watch for good deals.
I mean heck my BP that was labeled a problem feeder and biter has bit me once in almost 3 years and that was a feeding bite from my mistake. And she ate 2 days after I got her home and didn't stop eating until she hit the 1000g wall, then she started regulating her own intake lol. And I picked her up for $200. She isn't a proven breeder but is close to 2000g and I have been offered $1300+ for her but I passed as she is my little girl and I don't like selling my pets especially ones I've had a long time.
Bottom line is don't look at the animal in dollar signs, look at it for its beauty and if YOU like it. Sounds kind of cheesy but its true. Like for example, Scoria boas are down to 7k now but personally I don't see the hype in them. They are beautiful but to me, not 7k beautiful. It's all about the beholder.
And never judge a sunglow by the baby pic. They all are bright as babies and some people will try and pawn off a normal sunglow as a lipstick because of the bright baby colors. Here's Vicky as a baby and she is an actual lipstick, well her dad was. Mom was an EBV Red Group hypo.
