I have 3 of my babies up for sale. I haven't been able to sex them yet but they are about 15 grams, so they can be shipped pretty soon. I price them at Snow Albino 50% het Raptor - $150, CH Albino 50% het Raptor - $125, and Snow Albino -$100. Would you consider that overpriced or fair? A couple people have stated that it is overpriced so I dropped the prices by $25. I just am having trouble pricing them because I don't want to overcharge but at the same time I don't want to be one of those breeders that flood the market. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

price them where YOU want to , but to move them you need to price them comparable to other peoples animals visually and geneticly. Sexed would bring the value up too ;)

I don't have the same types available that you do, but I also want to price low enough to move them but not so low as to undercut. I look on Kingsnake to see what other geckos are going for and try not to sell below that price. So I am selling super snows for $45, only because I've seen them other places for that price (I"m not talking about places that are pricing them really low, like $15). I consider myself a small scale breeder without an established reputation who is supplying the New England market and not shipping at this time. In general, I am selling them for lower than you are --about $25 for a not very interesting normal/tang, $30-35 for better quality tangs and superhypo tangs, $30 for yellowed out Macks and $35-40 for nicer looking Macks. Next year, when I will probably have Tremper Macks and enigmas I'll go somewhat higher for those.
