What are considers average and good prices for blood parrots. I assume size and color play a role in pricing.

I know pet smart has 2-3" unfaded ones for $10 and then 4-5" very red orange ones for $30

Someone locally is selling some around 3-4" fairly red pink for 3 for $40

As well as someone else is selling some 5-6" light orange and want $30-40 each.

Pic one is the 3/$40 ones and pic 2 is the $30-$40 ones.

those prices are outrageous even for 5-6 inches now 20 bucks is the normal price pets mart sales parrots for 24.99 red orange though their quality has dropped off over the years that local guy thinks he has gold he doesn't hes full of himself I could see those prices if he was a breeder and had rqs red darmos mammons ect. but hes not hes just trying to flip fish

My Walmart sells them $7-8 ea around 3". they aren't bad quality at least when I bought them. Haven't looked lately. Got a couple fry at local lfs for $2.50 ea. they weren't too bad either. Grew and faded fairly quick. This was in their old tank.
