so i was talking to a buddy of mine who lives down in florida, i live in upstate ny. we have a few good shows up here but they are all 4-6 hours from me.
my friend was telling me he has been seeing clowns in the 3-500 dollar range in florida. has anyone noticed these prices at either hamburg pa show or white plains? id like to know and havent been able to get to either show yet.
thanks in advance

Your friend is sorry to say, full of it, lol.Or he simply was mistaken and saw het pairs or larger het females for those prices.
I have not seen even a wholesale group pricing ( 3 or more) on a clown for less then 850.00, and we buy and sell LOTS of clowns.
Actually I think last year they went UP in price...I was expecting to get clowns for a few hundred bucks less then what they went for!

Clowns did go up in price last year. I sold all of mine at $1500-2000 each almost as fast as I could put them up for sale. They were super-reduced pattern with nice color, though. More typical clowns would probably be $1000-1500 with females being worth a bit more than males. Either way, clowns are awesome!
