I'v noticed a couple ads around for Night Tigers, for around $900 - $1000ea..
I'm wondering if I missed the memo where they doubled in price?? Can anyone tell me if this is the going rate now?
Mabee my collection just doubled in value!!

Maybe they are just being greedy  The problem is that when people start buying them at that price then more sellers follow suit! I'll just wait for them to come back down a bit I think

Makes it even harder for people to get in to them tho, its a bit sad really. I hope other sellers dont continue to take advantage of the situation.

| | Sponsor | Join Date: Jan-06 Location: Newcastle | | | | Why would the price make it more difficult "to get into them"? Surely if there is a limitted supply that presents the difficulty in obtaining the animals rather than the price. |

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Nov-05 Location: just west of dubbo NSW | | | | the whole price thing comes down to what you think something is worth and what others will pay.
if someone in this case has a night tiger they want to sell at this price and if people are willing to pay the price then thats what that animal becomes worth.
there is no saying that this is the new price for these. you could have to ads for the same species listed by two different sellers side by side with one selling at one price and the other at a different price neither one being the wrong price or thing to do. it just comes down to what the seller is willing to let go of the said sale item at and what the buyer is willing to pay.(Any thing is for sale at a price) |
