"Speculation my friend. See what happens!

What is your price?"

First off i dont play the "what if" game... I live in the world of what is. Why speculate when you really have no idea as to what the price will be, why not say "see what happens" That would have been a honest answer. It just annoys me to see people who "think they know" but really do not. Dont make up an answer just to answer.

To answer you question as to "my price" it would have been... Somewhere around current market value dependant on certain cituations... (ex. Another super produced, heavy production, etc.)

Think this qoute will help with a lot of these kind of responses

Hope this helps =)

I just love it when the people that have nothing invested in a particular morph chime right in and speculate what they think the market will be on that morph the next year? Thanks alot Rick that comment really helps anyone with early clutches of pins to try and set the market for this year. And we wonder why this market is takeing a hit like it is.

The correct answer is... No one really knows for sure. If Brian does produce another "super" then they will stay the same price or increase, or just the females may go up. If he dosent they may still stay the same or go down.

You really shouldnt ask these questions on here, if anyone knew for sure they would be way ahead of the game and wouldnt share the info anyways =)

Best way... Watch KS see how many are posted... If theres a lot this time of year chances are they will go down. If theres not to many posted chances are they will stay close to the current price. Supply and demand

This is easy, i can just use all my fav quotes to answer all your replies...

'Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt"

A real question to you...

1. Why would you want to hurt your own investments?
2. Dont you feel your hard work at breeding, caring for them is worth more?

=)

i think it is irresponsible to "price" animals that you don't have. if someone has had a clutch of 2007 Pins, they can price them as market determines, or moronically, i suppose.

but to say 2007 Pins will be "$X" when you DON'T HAVE any 2007 Pins is irresponsible and bad for the industry and hobby.

Very well put ! There are a lot of variables to be considered,every breeder will not have high yields.Just for example my male spider is not breeding for me this year,last year I couldnt stop him.The price will be set by the numbers produced and the buyers willing to spend.Terry

From what i have heard a LOT of breeders are having a very slow year ...

A 1000 seems pretty low (i'd say 2000 next summer would be understandable), but maybe by late next year it could happen...

get $500 for your spiders then they must suck! Amen to you Jon and the rest of you that feel the way he does, we just need to wait and see!

I don't see your prediction being that far off sounds pretty logical if you ask me just look into the past to see the future.

toshamc Jan 13, 2007 10:26 AM

There are a lot of good points brought out in this thread and the truth is no one knows for sure - if you ask for a reasonable prediction - then just as in anything people must look at the past to come to a reasonable conclusion as to what may transpire - that is just part the deal. Whether you are doing it for the pure fun or as a business you must keep your eye on whats down the road and make your decisions based on what you've seen. Market predictions, although we all hate them are par for the course and essential.

For pins this could go many ways - I certainly don't see $1000 being a dooms day prediction - they were already being sold at $2K-$3K this season and a drop like that is not by any means unheard of or unreasonable. There have been many people that have been silently breeding a lot of pins the past few years - they've managed to keep it pretty quiet and it's kept the price up, however those pins are sold and now reproducing - but with the pin being at a reasonably low price there will be lots of people looking to purchase also. Whether or not a super will save the price - I don't know - it will have to be one hell of a gorgeous super - because even the coveted white snake couldn't keep the mojave price from slipping and I don't see an increase happening - maybe slightly for females.

Personally, I think this will be a good year for pins - whether you are buying or selling. It may be the last good year or there may be one or two left - but it will be a good one. And that is my prediction for 07.

LibertyReptiles Jan 13, 2007 11:31 AM

I have to agree with Jay...there's no way to predict, it's what people are willing to pay, and coming from someone who paid 2750 for a Mojave and seen them going for 800 in just 6 months I can promise you...I wouldn't pay much. Yeah, it's a beautiful morph, all the combos are great, and I will have one eventually, but 2k is 2k I can wait. I'm sorry for the people that do it for a living, and don't want to offend anybody, but it's just part of any business.

Brother 2 years ago I paid 7500 for a 600 gram male mojave and was going to use him within a month or so to breed and struck out miserably. He bred but I think I was to late on all of my females, that was my first year breeding. Then the next year the price on mojos fell through the floor then last years prices (06) but Im not complaining my stuff is self sustaining and keeping me happy.

2005 Pieds $3000-4500

2006 Pieds $2000-3000

I think the co-dom market will fall further and faster than that of the recessive market.....and the recessive market is falling faster than I ever expected. Good luck. Quit griping. Sell your balls and buy some chondros. Love your snakes.

Hello,

I don't see how someone can bring the market down or affect the market in a negative way just by posting his/her opinion on the price of a given commodity. Some of the people in here act like just talking about the market adversely affects the market. As far as prices go for this year all I have to say is I think Rick is almost as right as rain. Regardless of what people are asking on K.S. or other classified ads for their 06' Pinstripes, the market right now says you can expect to get about $1500 for either sex. So if 06' are going for about $1500 in 07' then Its not ridiculous to think that $1000 is way out of line for 07' newborns. Just my $02 cents and yes I have a number of Pinstripes. TAKE CARE AND WISH ALL A GREAT BREEDING SEASON. Ciao. Andrew
