Market Value

[Sunshine State Exotics]

How do you guys decide what price to put on your animals? I will be doing my first show next month in Tampa. I have about 50 babies left from last year I want to move. Most are 40 grams plus. I don't want to over price them, but I don't want to go too low either. I'm holding back most of my higher end stuff. Here is a list of what I have available:

Tremper Jungle Albino
Tremper Reverse Stripe Albino
Tremper Tangerine Banded
sht x high yellow
giant albino x sht

I only have a few geckos listed on my site because I haven't had time to add them. Here are a couple examples of reverse stripe...each are over 35 grams now.

Did you go last year? I can't really help you on prices, but we went and saw sht's anywhere from $60-$160 pending breeder and quality. Also tremper and patty morphs from about $100+. There were a few bb at $150. The prices at the clearwater show were similar as well and that was I think within the same month. You could always take a walk around when you get there and then decide prices, maybe be open to negotiation if the people sound like they know what they're doing and seem nice? We didn't price babies, so these were mostly adult prices.
I forgot it was coming up, we don't have enough to take with us this year.

Take a look at the classifieds and other breeders sites.

When I price my geckos, I check as many classifieds as possible so I can price them according to the current market value. I do not want to overprice my geckos so much they won't sell, and I don't want to undersell the other breeders by marking them too low. At shows, I walk around and check what others are pricing their geckos at, and price mine accordingly.
