depends on where you are in the country..
depends on availability from other breeders..
depends on the genetic stock of your animals (true hairless vs "double rex"
..
when i was breeding hairless rats for petstores i was getting between $5-8 each for them depending on who i sold them too. Other times i couldnt GIVE the stupid things away lol.
call around to area petstores and see what they sell hairless rats for.. and figure 50% of that is what you sell them for.. so if they sell them for $20.00.. you sell em for $8-10 
best of luck

Well the true hairless rats aren't sold where I live, but I can get them from the reptile show every month for $3.50 each. They also sell juvies for $1 a piece.
