Using your numbers IMO, look at statistically. you're 66% het babies for a 2.4 colony would statistically have 4 hets and 2 norms

4 x 3500 2 x 300 = 14,600
14,600 / 6 = 2433 "value per animal"

then I'd reduce the price by 50% as a "risk factor" to say 1200


Another way to get to the same ballpark number is 1/3 the price of a 100% het.


If it really is a "rare" morph, then you can commend even higher numbers as you'd be one of the few (or only) source.

If you were the "only source" I'd keep everything for a few years, build your breeder base and when you started selling, than you'd be the sole source for a few years. Corner the market!
