what are they really worth ?

I have seen a huge drop in crested gecko value lately. I use to sell crested babys for $40-$45 range just a year ago now I can't find a single buyer at $20 is this everywhere or just here in WI ?

I think it's a combination of the market being flooded with average geckos, and the economy being in the toilet. People are very reluctant to let go of their money for an average animal, even if they can't afford a more rare morph. What are they really worth? Whatever someone will pay on any given day.

With crested geckos being available at local pet stores for around $50, individuals are not going to be willing to pay much more for "typical" cresteds. To do well, you really have to have animals that stand out and are truly unique. Just as the quote about "whatever people are willing to pay" goes, so does the saying "you get out what you put in". If you purchase some really nice, high end geckos, pair them with geckos of great structure, pattern, and color, hopefully you will get some nicer ones out of them and therefore sell them at a higher price.

I still find people are willing to pay good money for crested geckos, they just have higher expectations, and as a seller you want to offer something special so the customer is satisfied spending a little more for quality animals.
