Less females on the market is part of it, but producing supers is just like producing say albinos from hets.
A het albino male runs what, $250? While the females run what $700? The reason is you only need the one male to breed several het females to produce your albinos. It's the same with the pastels, or any other co-dominate morph, they are just visible hets for the "super" form.
All you need is one good breeding male pastel, but you can use all the females you can get, thereofre the females command a higher price.
