I guarantee you that you`ll be able to buy beautiful male pastels this season for $750.I personally will be selling Graziani and NERD line pastels.You cant get more established than that. You wont find cheap adult balls on the classifieds,but if you`re creative and look in some less obvious places you can find breedable adults for very little money. Recently I picked up a 1770 gram virgin female from a local pet store for $60, and a 2200 gram female at a local swap for $90.These deals dont always happen but if you keep your eyes open you`ll be able to find 3-4 females in a years time.As for pastels crashing... You hear the same thing every year.Yes there`s more pastels being produced every year,but there`s tons of new people coming into this hobby every year too.And invariably most start out with pastels as their first morph.I agree with some of the other posts that female pastels are just too valuable from a designer standpoint to drop significantly. I purchased my original female pastels in 2002 for $1500-$2000/each,I expect 05`s to be at least in that range. Pretty good stability in comparison to other morphs that have dropped from $25,000 to $5000 in the same time period. Mark Petros BallPython777.com
