Guess my price ;)

[Terranaut]

So I have noticed on line looking at other Jags that some are very expensive.
Now he is not for sale but I got Dutch here for a fraction of what I think he is worth. Of course his worth to us is more than dollars and cents but I am curious.
What do you think he would cost from a breeder and what do you think I actually paid?
Answer in a few days.
So how much???

from what i've seen in the usa the jags are graded in price from $250 to $400,unless its a very exceptional one,like from the Gamma line jags or just an incredible one off

going by your jags pattern,i'm thinking he's not just a pure coatal jag,but an irian jag or jungle jag ?

he's very clean and bright,so i would imagine he's up at the top end of pricing,around the $300 to $400 mark ?

cheers shaun:)

No idea what breeders charge, never dealt with one, but around here it'd go for about $150 from a private sale, so that'll be my guesstimate :)

I have never really understood talking $$ in public. I am glad you feel as if you got a good deal and a great snake.

[marvelfreak]

I would say for him he go for around $350.00 to $450.00. I am guessing you pay between $150.00 to $200.00.

Only reason I went this route was because he had what I was looking for. He is 1 of 2 snakes I bought from someone other than a private sale and only 1 of 3 that was a baby.

I do think I got a great deal. Not stroking my ego here or anything, just curious what people think he is "worth" considering I have seen some with less yellow and not as nice for over $1000 from breeders in the US. I had considered having one shipped to me but I was looking at $1700 by the time it crossed the boarder. This little guy was a few blocks away and way cheaper.
This thread was just for fun.
Great guesses so far. Thanks!!

I can only tell you what I would pay in the UK/Europe, and I would be looking around an equivalent of just over 300 US

[Terranaut]

Thanks for the replys. One person is very close.
Seeing as what people are willing to pay dictatates what they are priced at I can't believe people pay $5000+ for some of the royal morphs or $10k+ for some of the retics.
Especialy when carpets are so much better ;)

[insignia100]

I'll throw out a guess... $5!

I wish he was that cheap ;)

[homocapra]

I bet you paid $100 if you got a really good deal.

[mykee]

I would pay around $85 for him.

Not likely.

[mykee]

No seriously, I would pay $85-$125. I have a great relationship with my wholesalers.

I'd say he should be around $300+ dollars but jags could be really tough to price. I've seen some expensive jags (around $700) which were average looking (for jags, good looking carpets in general). But from the right breeder I could get extremely high quality supernova jags (white body as opposed to yellow) for around $450-$550.

I'm a bit better at pricing granites. :rolleyes:

[Terranaut]

Well the truth is I paid $200 for him with his enclosure, a brand new lamp and heat bulb a bag of aspen and 5 pinky rats. So I paid about $150 for him alone. I thought I did pretty good and the reason I posted about price was because I was about a minute away from calling in my credit card number to get a $1700 snake shipped to Toronto. So I think I made off like a bandit.
Thanks for guessing all.

[CDN_Blood]

Yeah, I won! I'll send you my address so you can ship me my prize, which I'm assuming is a Bugatti Veyron *and* a new iPad :D

[homocapra]

That is a great price for that snake. He's unbelievably gorgeous!

About a month ago I went to a show and saw an adult jungle crammed in a small plastic file box. The guy said he was a retired breeder and he just wanted to get rid of him. I felt bad for the snake and knew I had a nice big empty neodesha at home, so I gave the guy $100 and got the file box too.
I think I got a great deal too, a big old sweet jungle who just needed a home :)

Good on you. Love stories like that.
Hey Todd I might not have a Veyron for you but I actually might have something for you. Pm you about it in the next few days.
