I want to second what Dianne said. I love piebalds and BELs. I want one of each very badly for over a year now. However, like many who is watch the market, I am waiting for the prices to drop a little bit more before making my purchase. Morphs like bananas used to be the hype. And although they are still in demand for pet keepers, their prices have been dropping. I was able to get mine for $180 a year ago.

Of course, these pretty morphs will always demand a decent price (aka you won't get them for less than a few hundred bucks), but the prices are dropping due to every aspiring breeder (like you) wanting to get into the game, could not command a higher price and end up selling them for $50-80 less than your competitor. I know piebalds and BELs won't drop down to $200 or less (that would be great) but I also do notice that I can get a male Piebald for $350 vs $450 a year ago. The ones who pay top dollars are your fellow breeders and they know what they want, what they are looking for and who they want to trade or buy from (reputation matters). The rest of us noobs(lol) or simple snake keepers may pay a lot for a snake too but not many is okay with spending more than $500 on a snake. They just want a pet for their kid or something pretty to look at in their tank.

Another example is the Palmetto corn. That used to fetch crazy prices when it first came out. They have been bred so excessively now that last I saw, you can pick a baby up for about $300 (Less if it is bug eyed).
