View Full Version : I have a serious question
FloridaHogs 12-18-2008, 02:26 PM Bwahahahahahaaaaa, I couldn't help myself :lol:
But no, really I do. I am setting up at a show this weekend, and have only ever had hoggies on my table. Finally, I have some BP's (all 5 of them :)), but I do not really know how to price them. What price would you expect to see at a show for 08 male and female normals and for 08 male and female Grazini Pastels? All are well established and feeding, and a few have already converted to f/t. Thanks!

As for prices on normals if they are CBB I would say $20 for males $35-$45 for females and as for the Graziani pastels pricing really depends on the grade of the individual animal since now the main focus is on quality and selective breeding.
Best of luck to you and hope you have a great show! :cheers:

Steven_Kelley 12-18-2008, 03:06 PM That male is a smoker!! He will easily sell...
I say $150-$200 on the male and $250 on the female...
Honestly when it comes to pastels... people are more focused on quality than price IF they plan on breeding... As pink as that males sides are I can tell you he's going to be a smoking adult!
AaronP 12-18-2008, 03:16 PM $175-$200.
FloridaHogs 12-18-2008, 03:26 PM $175-$200.
For which? Male, female, or both?
Sputnik 12-18-2008, 03:28 PM I'd say $130- 150 on the male and $200 on the female, they are both excellent looking animals....
FloridaHogs 12-18-2008, 04:51 PM Thanks guys, just the help I needed!

Sputnik Hit it on the head
Tosha 12-18-2008, 05:26 PM I really like that female -- I'd give ya $200 easy for it.
The male I can't see well enough to pass judgment on color and clarity.
I'd say mark them and extra $50 over what you want to get for them and be open for negotiation.
Good luck!
BTW -- when is baby hog season? -- Think that may be my next purchase.
xanaxez 12-18-2008, 05:57 PM id seriously ask for about 175 to 200 for the male alone. he is stunning and to be honest one of the nicest male pastels i have seen since being on forums. the male also has some awesome blushing and looks kind of like he tried to be a super.
AaronP 12-18-2008, 07:42 PM For which? Male, female, or both?
Male, Female I would sell for $300-350. Grade A Pastels are FEW and far between and trust me they'll sell. Albey sells his Grade A's at shows for $325 or more and they always sell.
FloridaHogs 12-18-2008, 08:55 PM BTW -- when is baby hog season? -- Think that may be my next purchase.
Tricolors are all year long, westerns it is hit or miss, at least with me:D I have 8 westerns going to the show with me that are little pigs that hatched in August. I have a male in with one of my girls right now and could have eggs by the end of Jan.....so they keep me guessing as much as the BP's! :lol:
xanaxez 12-18-2008, 10:16 PM i keep coming back looking at the male pastel lol, im am going to buy another snake but torn between this male and a striped red phase carpet python anthony caponetto has for sale. i am a carpet lover and have been wanting to get into balls also and i really like this male lmao. when is your show?
FloridaHogs 12-18-2008, 10:22 PM Leave tomorrow and the show is Saturday.
StudentoftheReptile 12-18-2008, 10:37 PM Don't have much insight in the realm of BP morph pricing, but best of luck to ya, Jen!
BTW, the little girl I got from you is doing great and already shed.
Alright...enough thread hi-jacking!
FloridaHogs 12-18-2008, 10:45 PM Glad she is doing good for you! Thanks for the well wishes.
Good luck at the show Jenea.
Mrs. Sputnik 12-19-2008, 12:53 AM Good luck at the show and think Scott has prices close for ya
FloridaHogs 12-19-2008, 07:52 AM Thanks ladies!
norsmis 12-19-2008, 07:53 AM Good luck Jenea! I bet that male pastel doesnt last 10 minutes! He is a smoker!!!!!!!
Varanus99 12-19-2008, 07:55 AM Yup, those pastels are out the door if anyone at the show has a clue.
FloridaHogs 12-19-2008, 08:24 AM Yup, those pastels are out the door if anyone at the show has a clue.
You hit the nail on the head V, if anyone has a clue. This is a pretty small show and last time I spent a good amout of time explaining that tricolor hognose were not milksnakes, even with signs everywhere stating what they were. Eh......its Alabama...;)

Hehehe. A hognose looks quite a bit different than a milksnake :D
But thats not fair Ive been handling snakes for close to 30 years. Perhaps to a layman it might be hard to tell the difference.
But people know pretty. You dont have to explain pretty. And those snakes are pretty :)
Good luck!
StudentoftheReptile 12-19-2008, 10:25 AM . Eh......its Alabama...;)
Hey now! ;)

If your doing the Dixie Reptile Show ..... Keep an eye on your stuff , take PAM or Black Knight and don't be surprised if the vendor next to ya is a low grade scumbag. Terry isn't weighed down by being choosy about who rents his tables.
BryonsBoas 12-21-2008, 09:42 PM How did the show go?
norsmis 12-21-2008, 09:43 PM Good question! How did it go Jenea???
Southern Wolf 12-21-2008, 09:55 PM inquiring minds want to know
Sputnik 12-21-2008, 09:58 PM I just hope she's ok.....
BryonsBoas 12-21-2008, 10:01 PM She was on earlier. Didn't mention any probs.
norsmis 12-21-2008, 10:04 PM Yeah she was here earlier...... Must have went ok....
