Hi All,
Just wanted to run something by you :
As I raise my prices yearly on baby Eastern Indigos, I sometimes feel like I'm gouging people who I would probably like very much as friends, if I knew them better. Then when I see the glut of $5000 ball morphs, I realize how ridiculously low we sell Indigos for. I could have sold 20 more babies than I had this year. Next year I'm going to ask $800 for blacks and $1000 for reds and I already have 2 blacks reserved.
Don't get me wrong, I love ball morphs and boa morphs, excepting hybrids, but geez, an Indigo for a grand but some ball morphs cost 100 grand! Even, let's say, a spider ball. Plenty of them around and $5000 each or whatever. You can't buy Eastern Indigos most of the year at any price!
I know Indigos are messier and larger, but that can't acount for the incredible disparity in prices. I just really think Indigos will rise in price every year for many years to come. The consumer doesn't get sticker shock any more; he's numb! lol
Love to hear your thoughts,
My Best,
Steve
