Females 100% het for pied are still $2000 but males are down considerably since the last time you probably looked into them. I'm not sure why? Maybe just too many people producing them?

You can pick up a 100% het for Pied male for around $350 BUT you have to make certain it is from a reputable, reliable source...otherwise, you would be extremely frustrated with the time taken to prove (or not prove) him out. I paid more BUT I am more confident that he really is 100% het.

I plan on breeding this 100% het male to several normal females which will give me 50% het/50% normal babies. I'll likely keep all my F1 females (ones with the marker trait and ones without the pied marker trait). I'd likely sell the F1 males as normals.
The baby females would need to be raised up and bred back to the original male pictured so it will take many years and by then, pieds will likely be down to $1-2000 each.

Its still a good investment but I'm not really into it for that...I'm into it b/c Pieds are really awesome, I've wanted one for a LONG time and I simply cannot afford it any other way...even at $1000...its still more than I'd want to pay for one snake.
