Default Going rate for a cotton eared marmasette?

Anyone know what these are worth? My local pet shop are selling them for £3k but my wife reckons she has seem them for as little as £600.

depends on the seller... you should be able to get a good pair about £1500 rory says, but he has also seen them up for £1500 each.. you would do well to get them for £600... two years ago you could have got a pair for £800, but prices have gone up a lot over the last few years.

pet shops always charge more than the private market tho..

(ps.. can you let us know the name of the place?)

thanks

Nerys

I paid £1000 for a brother & sister pair from a place I used to work at, but then swapped males with a guy I found on another forum to make an unrelated breeding pair. I sold my last baby for £750.

Can still pick them up for about £500 each if you know who to ask but more usually around the £750 each mark at the moment... hand reared ones fetch about 3x that though..
they destroy everything.... especially if they are hand reared... but they are completely awesome

Its 100% not Viper and Vine, its the one that famously mixes snake species together and sticks everything in a parrot cage.
