The is harlequin. This is one of Anthony C's amazing cresties, i just linked the photo from another thread...hope he doesnt mind  Its similar to a fire pattern but the only difference is that the pattern is also present on the side of the body and also on the limbs.

Depends on where you go but i would say that if you look hard enough you can maybe get one for $150 at a show.

$150!?!?! Steve, you're killing me!!
That's a $350 gecko. You can get one of his babies for around $100-150 each and hope they turn out like that, but you're not going to find one already colored like that for $150.
Seriously, this morph stuff is getting out of hand. It's all subjective. Just because it's called a harlequin or a dalmatian or a tiger or whatever, that doesn't mean it goes for a certain price. Nicer looking animals go for more money, period, regardless of their pattern type or "morph".

Sorry i should have been more specific, that price was for a baby that had hints of a pattern like that.
The morph stuff is out of hand but that what we have to go by and it does IMO determine the price...nicer animals i.e. have better patterns therfor a higher price tag.

Exactly....that guy was actually a pretty "blah" looking baby.
Believe it or not, he's the one on the left in this pic.
Unfortunately, ones like that are one in a thousand...unless you know what the parents or siblings look like.

Yeah those cresties would or at least should sell for no more than $150 CDN .... I got a couple beauties just like the you first pic except one was yellow (replacing the orange) and the other was dark orange (replacing the purplish) ... both for $110 a peice ...Unless Albinos or pieds ..or other oddball morphs show up, the prices wont grow much. And in my opinion, I think people have learned to not go "overpricing" on cresteds cause we have learned our lesson from the many morphed Leos. They first are insanely priced, a year or 2 down the road, and they are much more reasonable. My 2 cents

If you think one like the animal in the top photo should sell for no more than $150 CDN, that's your opinion, but the fact is, you can't buy a Crested Gecko like that for $150 (US or CDN), unless you buy a baby and get lucky. Animals with that kind of color sell for considerably more than that because people want them. If you look on Kingsnake right now, you won't even find one anywhere near that nice...let alone for $150. If there were, I would have already bought them.
There are still Leopards to this day selling for $1,000+, so using them as an example to say that people have learned their lesson about "overpricing" makes no sense. In fact, I've seen Cresteds go for up to $1,000 or maybe more in the last few months. If you want to call it "overpricing", you are entitled to your opinion, but in the end, there are people that do spend that kind of money on geckos...and afterall, they're the ones that ultimately end up getting to own and produce animals of that caliber.
As for the animals you have, as you stated, they don't have the same color. You must not understand that the color is what makes that animal so unique. I've seen tons of cresteds with that same pattern and even the same basic colors, but the color is not anywhere near that vibrant.
Just my .02
