There is a 16 month old male GTP on Australian Herp Classifieds for $4,000?
Isn't that awfully cheap for a GTP??
Does anyone remember the story where the scorned radio jock's wife flogged off his Ferrari for $1 after he made jokes about cheating on her while on-air? I wonder if it's something similar...

As for cheap? I certainly don't have that kind of money hahahaha. What does a GTP of that age usually go for? |

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Jun-05 Location: Sydney Age: 43 | | | Come on Jarred - Tell us. Yes folks, he is a member on here but I doubt would want to explain this price. And no, it is not a divorce issue. He is well and truly single.
Maybe its just a supply and demand issue. Yes there are GTP's being offered for far more money but guess what - yes, they are STILL being offered - they haven't actually sold.
The best way to determine if this price is too cheap is to ring the guy and if it is already sold (and I suspect it is) then you are right. If, however, it is still available then maybe that is an indication of what is happening to GTP prices at the moment.

I dont know what the prices are doing with chondros but it is still relatively easy to sell well established 6 month old animals for around the 5500 - 6000K mark.
Hell if its only 4 K i will buy it lol
