1998 Female Anery. Laid 11 eggs last year and 15 this year.
1998 Male Ghost- Mated with female anery this year.

How much would you guys say those are worth....I just want to know if I am getting a bad deal...normal...or its too low (meaning they might be unhealthy)

You don't mention what your paying for them or provide pics. I offered and didn't sell a trio of similar genetics. Snow male and female along with an anery female for $250 shipped. When it comes to ghost, I have to see pics because there is a lot of variance and I have my preference. An average looking pair as you describe, $200 plus shipping would probably be the posted price. The hatchlings would be anery het for hypo. I look at turning a small profit or break even from the first clutch as a guideline for the price of adults. Others double and even triple the value of a clutch to price the parents.
The most important criteria in the purchase is what are they worth to you? Any product, be it snakes or whatever, is only worth what an individual is willing to pay.
Hope this helps

I didnt understand "Others double and even triple the value of a clutch to price the parents."

Also, I have an amel and a hypo...i know what the hypo would make with the ghost...but would it even be worth breeding the amel to the ghost?

anywhere from $150 for the pair to $300 for the pair...

depends who is selling them and what state...

.........yep......lots of $50 adults at shows here...

and yes you have to wonder at times why...(but not always)...

I thought they were nice looking snakes and very reasonably priced. If I had the money, I would have bought them myself! LOL! I already have a male ghost but to me, the Anery female was worth being stuck with an extra male.
