I don't know why this has to be such a taboo topic. Whats the big deal?



The trend usually goes as follows ( I will use the Spider as an example):



06 Spiders are closing out the year at $600-$800 or $300-$500 for really ugly or extreme wobblers or people just dumping their animals.



When the 07 spiders start hatching they will likely be priced at or around $600-$700.



By mid spring the ads will start to pop up with the catch phrase "why take a chance on a baby at x amount when you can get an established juvie for the same price"



Followed by the price on the babies dropping - as more and more babies are born prices will steadily decline.



Yes there will be exceptional animals being born and priced high as well as people who will hold their price. it kind of evens things out.



By Daytona I can easily see people leaving with $400 spiders - I'd be willing to bet some good negotiatiors will leave with ones in the $200 range.



All bets are off if a Super Spider gets produced this year and it's a knock out!
