Possible hets should not be sold as normals. The values may be similar, as the supply of animals carrying that genetic material go up and the demand goes down or is fulfilled, but they should not be sold as normals. Some people deliberately seek out phenotypical normalcy and should be informed in advance if anything they are purchasing is a het or possible het.

When I said sold as a normal, I meant sold at a normal's price given the very low probability that the animal carries anything. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who couldn't in good conscience sell anything less than 50% at above normal prices. That is purely my opinion, which leaves me with about ninety eight cents.
I realize 50 is lower than 66, but I think you're missing where my mind was wandering.
100% het pied x normal = 50% possible hets
66% het pied x normal = 33% possible hets
Does that make more sense, the direction my thoughts were taking? At least with the 100% het x normal pairing there's a chance that eventually one of those babies will carry the gene. In the 66% x normal pairing, it's not known if the possible parent carries the gene so you could crank out babies all day long with none of them carrying the gene.
OP, I hope he makes this right for you.
