Nice clutch, beat the odds for sure.In 2004 Albinos were still bringing how much? When I started purchasing Balls in 2007, they were still around $1000. plus or minus a few hundred.

2002....Daytona...amel balls running $2400 or so....
Brian gave me one for $2G...(and traded it in baltimore for another due to feeding issues..my fault probably...second didn't eat either...but I turned it around)....2004....they were running $2G yet...I sold 2 for $3700 I think to (John Chang ? if I remember correctly)....not remembering the sexes....might have been 3.2 ...and I sold a pair, and kept a pair....then had a male stolen off the table at Hamburg ,Pa show.....he weghed probably about 500 grams at the time and was still worth $2G...gotta love Hamburg's crowd....scummy bastards...too crowded...way too crowded...mix that with large coats and low lifes...sad ...(lots of stolen items at that show,,,always)

....2002 Daytona....pastels....females were running $2500....there was a stink about someone selling female pastels for $1500...the market...dropping prices...why..etc etc.....we all know how the market went from there...dropping prices...and crash after crash......spiders went from $2G to $200 in like 6 years........too many ball breeders....too easy to breed....now every 12 year old is an expert.....back in the 70's 80's and 90's....they were still kids with no clue.....(blame computers for the good market- and the crashes)

.....good luck......(still miss them all)LOL!

I love hearing how much that some morphs were worth back in the day. I know someone who said that they paid $14000 for a male Spider, now it's hard to get $75 for a male. Albinos and Pieds have held up comparatively well when compared to the dominants and co doms. Pinstripes? Pastels? Cinnamons etc etc. I enjoy all of it, except the cleaning part!

cleaning...fun stuff....wet from putting their 3800 gram body in the bowl...4 times in a week....piles of feces like 2 pounds...and then wow...a medium rat you thought they ate...like 5 days ago...and you now find it...but the fruit flies found it 4 days ago....good stuff...let's you know you're alive....
and you can smell it for sure.....HA!...

......spiders...LOTS of people paid the 12000 range...they dropped really fast.....being retarded helped that a little...breeding well and growing fast...hurt prices more....
