I have been tracking this for a while and think I have figured it all out. If what I have is true, it will give both beginner buyers and breeders an idea of what to sell combo morph animals for.

Basic concept: Take the sum of the base price of each morph and multiply it by the number of morphs. Below are examples:

Bumble Bee: Spider ($250) + Pastel ($100)= $350 x 2 morphs= $700
Lemon YB Fader: Enchi ($400) + Lemon ($350) + Fader ($750)= $1500 x 3 morphs= $4500
Enchi Lemon YB Fader: Enchi ($400) + Lemon ($350) + YB ($150) + Fader ($750)= 1650 x 4 morphs= $6600.

Seems to add up in the examples. This doesn't work when dealing with extreme high end morphs (Bananas) as the price ends up exceeding what the market is willing to pay. The reason it is not just straight addition is that the combination of morphs takes work and breeding. And the more morphs you have in the same animal, the more it is worth.

Let me know your thoughts.

Bumble Bee: Spider ($250) Pastel ($100)= $350 x 2 morphs= $700

...this one alone......>>>

spider 60/120 ....pastel 30/75.....BEE....$300/400

The market price is set by Supply and Demand...
The less of the morph there is on the market the more you can get...the newer the morph the more its worth as long as there is a demand for it.
Use Jeff's example....everyone has Pastels or Spiders or both so the market get flooded with them and the morphs they create...and the more of them there are the less they are worth year after year..
It's a good concept but will never fly...I and others set prices by what others are selling their's for and if it doesn't sell with a normal period of time...prices are lowered. Your high end morphs don't get lowered that much because there is no competition. Look at Albino Pieds....last year 25k because only a few had them now about half that price.
