Colour/morph of parents for one, I'm sure that if a buyer knows what the parents look like and what the crestie they are buying might turn out like they might pay a bit more/less.

Certain colours/morphs do seem to fetch different prices so I guess you'll have to try and work out what yours are or will be and then work out an average of what others are selling them for.

The gender also affects the price quite a lot but that cannot be garanteed this early so you don't need to worry about that.

I can't think of anything else really, you could always ask ScottW? Laughing

As Phil said depends upon parents really, and also how pure the morph is. Think of a price you would be happy with in your head and sell them at that Very Happy Or you could make up an new morph and charge hundreds for it Laughing Laughing or even thousands Wink

You could have a look around on UK sites that have cresties for sale.
