A large, breedable female can be worth more to someone with a high-priority (not necessarily high-dollar) male than to someone with, say a normal male. I have sold large females in the past for well over $500 each. I have also sold them for less. But not much less. Most of the people that bought the large females from me made their money back 10-fold the first breeding. It's all relative.

I recently purchased a 3200g female for $275. I've seen people list 1500g for $400. It's a buyers market. It's a seller's market. I think alot depends on the "look" of the female, the age of the female, and in all honestly, the seller themselves.
People look at who they are buying from. The reasons behind the sale in the first place.
Best you can do, is, decide on a price, market the animal, and see if anyone bites.......
Good luck.
