My advice would be to do your research and buy from a reputable breeder. I am sure you can find them on the cheap but you get what you pay for. I never like to see threads talking about price but its heartening to see you inquire about average prices rather than to see someone saying "where can I find the cheapest Pied". I think somewhere in the $3000-$3700 range is about right. Of course you will see lower prices at shows so that is always an option.
