First, let me say that this is a genuine post, and not an attempt to draw "flames". I know the "market" threads have blown up in the past, and I've stayed away from reading or posting in these. I just ventured over the the classified forum for the first time in probably a year, and was amazed at the prices...yellowbellies from proven lines at or below a grand, spiders and mojave below a grand, etc. I'm especially surpised the the yellowbelly and mojave prices. Just a couple of years ago the ellusive "white snake" would draw prices in the upper tens of thousands of dollars, and yellow bellies were being offered, and supposedly purchased for 10 - 15 K. Its so strange to see these prices being offered...I suspected a significant price drop in these critters, but not nearly to the level that has been realized.

I guess my question is what caused the dramatic decrease (seemingly over night) in price in certain morphs? Were people just unable to sell their offspring?
