My experiance on first year selling pastels on KS.
I have been advertising my pastels since June on KS and at two to three show per month, my findings are even though people want to purchase the animal from you they what more to save a $1. I had 5 people agree to purchase animals at the "next show", then at the next show that inform me they purchased the animal for 100-200 less then I was asking from another vendor.
I saw the price of pastel males go from $1,000 to $600 in 2005 with hinsight I would have made more profit by selling in June for $900 than holding my price at $1,000 then trying to sale today went the market is at $600. Guess what 2006 hatchling are aready starting to be sold.
Second thought:
I read the forums in the past and talked to the big breeder the advise is "maintain your price" As a small breeder with limited sales of 5-20 animal per year on KS I have to lower my price in order to generate interest in my animals. Why? I think the variance in price vs. the large breeder price is the risk of doing business that the consummer is willing to accept in dealing with a new breeder.
