Redfoot price range.

I'm curious, what would a pair of redfoots like these be worth in other parts of the world.
These 2 just came up for £525 for the pair. Quite stunning.

I paid just under $500 Canadian for my red foot hatchling here in Ontario. I'm sure that's high, but not sure. No idea on what a pair would go for, but those two are gorgeous!

Hatchlings are around the £100 make here in the UK.

That's $600 us or so? If so it's good side of average. Redfoot hatchlings are 80-120$ here

Male is 13" and female 12" SCL

I would expect a pair like that to be $400 to $600.
This market is strange, though, because Redfoot are very common.
In reality I wouldn't expect more than $250.
I sold my hatchlings for $40 each.

$40 seems very cheap Ed. Even the med species fetch £60 for hatchlings and there is no shortage of them over here.

Some more photos, anyone want to guess their localities.

I would expect to see two beauties like that prices for $500 together or $250 each here and there is no real market for them. I have 6 redfoots and I've shelled out a grand total of $100 for them because people just keep dumping them on me for free. Ruby was my first and the only one I paid for.

Very pretty, very well kept torts! Craig, I think Ed sold his hatchlings to pet store- "middle man" , I'm sure they will charge their destination buyers the "regular" (around 100$) price

Same here.
Of my 7 I purchased one for $80.
Gave $50 for four and $30 for three others. Then I gave away one that was a Cherryhead to another member here.
$40 is the wholesale price that I sold mine to a decent pet shop for.

True. The pet shop has them for $139....On sale for just $109!!

 

[xirxes]

Depends where you are too. Out here in Southern CA these just don't come up for sale at all, so higher price here, plus shipping of $65+ ea if coming from east coast.

Damn! That pet shop has pretty high profit margin!

Live animals are almost always 3x markup in industry. This accounts for overhead, husbandry and mortality.

I supply baby crested geckos around county for $13-16 ea and they sell $49-59 as well.

 

[tarta4ever]

sadly in italy the only market of adult is rappresented by WC, a pair like this would worth about 1000€.

or these color variants for a few $k.

By the sound of it good redfoots like these fetch a better price over here than in the USA. It's probably the opposite with the med species which makes sense I suppose.
I thought these were an exceptionally good price. Very rare do redfoots of this quality turn up in the UK. I remember seeing a huge adult wild caught male here for sale about 3 yrs ago for £400. It was probably the best male I've ever seen and regret not buying it back then. There was also a good Treo 1.2 a while back for £900, all 3 were perfect.(WC)
I couldn't see the hypos that JD produces fetching the prices over here he gets. We brits are too tight fisted.

Hard to say regarding locality of origin. Europe may have open access to regions of South America that we here in the US don't.

Gets---or asks. I don't many hypos selling here in the US for the prices I see them advertised for. I think a lot of the breeders have pie-in-the-sky expectations.
