I'm 100% sure no one will buy it for that but it certainly helps with publicity having it up for that.

Same as the Albino Chondro python at Daytona this year, that was up for $100K and wasn't that nice looking either Shocked Laughing

Here's a question that has been roaming around the big open space between my ears for a while...

How are the prices set for stuff like this?
In this case I am almost positive it was discussed over a pipe or some such item used to smoke crack but how do others come up with prices for new moprhs?

Without doubt those sorts of prices are priced at 'not to sell' prices but to try an create interest.

Setting a project price too high can spell disaster for it, especially if nobody buys into it and you have to lower your price to get the project out to others....kinda knocks the confidence out of the whole thing.

With the ball pythons it looks to me as if they started low, then once the market got interested the prices started to sky rocket as the demand couldn't keep up, then on the first few morphs like albino & pied they kinda stayed at a level for a few years.

A large number of the $25K ball pythons you saw for sale did sell for cash, many others were just swapped for other high end projects.
