I don’t get it! I never thought the hatchling would go for more than the emperor???
Am I missing something?Especially considering how blurry the photos are on that hatching dragon. I woulnd’t think the tiny chip on the hatching emperor would have made that much of a difference. I guess that one buyer really wanted the old emerald hatcher.
They prolly just really needed the baby. Blah… I never noticed the Emp, or I would’ve bid. (I have a peacock one, but his face is just too cute)
Weird!!! 0_o I think that’s the cheapest I’ve ever seen a hatching emp go for.

-J R R TolkienSometimes ebay auctions get bid up, especially if two people both REALLY want the item, and both put in a high bid in the last 30 seconds.
For example, I have seen over the last 10 months Mother Pegasus go for as high as $240, or sell for less than $60. It really depends on a number of things:
-Day the auction ends, auctions that end on a weekend go higher.
-Starting price, the lower the starting price, the higher the auction goes.
-Pictures, more generally mean higher price.
-Seller, high feedback with close to 100% obviously go for more.
-Concentration, if two or more identical items are available for auction at the same time, the price depresses.
-Shipping, high cost will disuade bids.
-Availablity of insurance, if available, price goes up.
-Available methods of payment, if cashiers checks or money orders are not accepted, the price goes down.By following these basic rules, I managed to snag an emerald hatchling with ORANGE eyes for less than that guy paid for a red eyed one. I only paid $50 including shipping.
I’m glad you didn’t see it Maebnus!! I won the auction (doing a happy dance) and was shocked, but thankful that it didn’t go higher! I suppose it was just my lucky day!! 😉

Haha, I was watching that one but forgot about it 😀
You got a really great buy I have seen them go for a couple of hundred. If I remember correctly I paid $58 for a new one a few years ago – before they were retired.
