Ok. I now understand your confusion. You think that consumers don't buy hundreds of snakes in pet shops for each one they buy online...Originally Posted by Brandon Osborne
If you think there are hundreds of animals sold a pet shops for every one sold on the internet you are fooling yourself. Yes I sell to pet shops, but 99% of my business has been from internet sales for the last 10 years.....period.
I guess we are not in the same market. As I said, my market is everywhere. I see prices all over the map, all the time. These are MARKET PRICES. The market will always dictate prices, not the seller. If animals are not selling at $250, the market price is not $250. Show me some normal hatchlings for $50 with no added genetics. Those are retail prices, not market prices. Market price and pet shop price are not the same. So yes, if you own a pet shop and you sell normals, then you can get $50 for them. Most ask $80-100. Can I sell them for that? The answer is plain and simple.....NO.
Peace
You also think that just because you are not a pet shop you can not ask for and get a price based on current market (or as you say retail) value.
I would really recomend a sales workshop for you.

PS
I would be happy to bet my entire life savings that the going price for spiders in 09 will not be under $100.
