Do us a favor though. Since you claim there are SO many albinos available for $300... and $375.... why don't you go ahead and post some links for us?

Would you care to place a bet on the spiders? I say there is no way in hell male spiders will normally be going for under $100 in 09. I would be more then willing to put my money where my mouth is on that one. How bout you?
Mike, I can see I struck a nerve with you and that was not my intention. Do you attend any shows? Internet prices are inflated more so because the market will reach more people that don't get to shows....depending on the show. Does that make sense? Some shows prices are higher.

Where did I say Spiders will "normally" be selling for under $100. I said males will break the $100 mark. And yes, I'll put my where my mouth is on that.

You really don't think albinos are going to break $375 next year? Check out Evan Stahl. He has them right now for $400.

The ads you see posted are not the only animals for sale. I stopped breeding for pastels because in 07 I was selling males for $100 and females for $250-300. That was the "market" prices. This year, yes I've seen male pastels for as low as $50 each.

I see the same animals for sale day after day, week after week, month after month.....so much so that I just stopped watching. They are not selling at current speculative prices. How are breeders going to ask 08 prices on 09s, when the 08s are not selling at 08 prices? Sell your animals for what you think they are worth, but don't be surprised if you still have them the following year.

I'll ask you this. What do you think a Pewter 100% het Pied should sell for? I have the only ones offered for sale. What would you consider a fair selling price?

Again, I'm not trying to start a pissing match. I'm just stating what I see.
