[PRICES REVISED at 8th March 2016]

I've had friends ask me from time to time about this, so here's a quick and simple guide to help explain how I price my stryx genos based on past sales records, for anyone who may wish to buy or offer a stryx geno to me.
It is by no means the official way to price genos, but if you are new and clueless on how much to offer for/sell a geno, you're more than welcomed to use this guide as reference :) (Smile)

For ease of comprehension, all prices are listed in USD. 
I do however accept dA points at the rate of 100Points to $1. 
I did not list any prices in AP because I do not generally accept payments in AP.


Disclaimer: The prices listed below applies to bred genos only! It may fluctuate depending on supply vs demand in the stryx market, but generally I do not go too far below these prices. Prices are adjusted and revised accordingly.



Prices of base colors (without markings):


Tyto Stryx:

[common; highest chance of passing as this breed]:
Bullet; Orange Soil ---------------------------- $5
Bullet; Yellow Sand --------------------------- $5-7* <--- may be subjected to change due to recent lack of sand genes being produced
Bullet; White Snow(uncommon base) ------ $10
Bullet; Black Nox(rare base) ---------------- $30

Corva Stryx:

[uncommon: only 40% chance of passing when cross-bred with tytos; 70% chance when cross-bred with harpias]:
Bullet; Orange Soil ---------------------------- $8
Bullet; Yellow Sand --------------------------- $8-10* <--- may be subjected to change due to recent lack of sand genes being produced
Bullet; White Snow(uncommon base) ------ $15-20
Bullet; Black Nox(rare base) ---------------- $50+

Harpia Stryx:

[rare: only 20% chance of passing when cross-bred with tytos; 30% chance of passing when cross-bred with corvas]
Bullet; Orange Soil ---------------------------- $20
Bullet; Yellow Sand --------------------------- $20-25+* <--- may be subjected to change due to recent lack of sand genes being produced
Bullet; White Snow(uncommon base) ------ $30
Bullet; Black Nox(rare base) ---------------- $80+




Prices of markings:


Tyto Stryx:

Bullet; GreenCommon markings ------------------------------- add $5 per marking (double if dominant)
Bullet; BlueUncommon markings ---------------------------- add $20-30 per marking (double + $15-30 if dominant)
Bullet; RedRare markings (not including Galyx/Aurora) --- add $50-70+ per marking (double + $50-75 if dominant)
Bullet; PurpleRare marking (Galyx/Aurora) ------------------- add $100+ or above per marking (triple or more if dominant)


Corva Stryx:

Bullet; GreenCommon markings ------------------------------- add $5 per marking (double if dominant)
Bullet; BlueUncommon markings ---------------------------- add $20-30 per marking (double + $15-30 if dominant)
Bullet; RedRare markings (not including Galyx/Aurora) --- add $50-70+ per marking (double + $50-75 if dominant)
Bullet; PurpleRare marking (Galyx/Aurora) ------------------- add $100+ or above per marking (triple or more if dominant)

Harpia Stryx:

Bullet; GreenCommon markings ------------------------------- add $5 per marking (double if dominant)
Bullet; BlueUncommon markings ---------------------------- add $30+ per marking (double + $15-30 if dominant)
Bullet; RedRare markings (not including Galyx/Aurora) --- add $100+ per marking (double + $50-75 if dominant)
Bullet; PurpleRare marking (Galyx/Aurora) ------------------- add $150 or above per marking (triple or more if dominant)



*Prices of Marking Mutations:


Bullet; PinkAlbino -------------------- add $35-50+
Bullet; WhiteVitiligo ------------------- add $35-50+
Bullet; BlackMelanism ---------------- added price depends on base colour; price will be close to nox, but lesser
Bullet; PurpleChimerism\Harlequin --- added price is the price of the 2nd set of genes (basically two stryxs)
jsenn the belovedChiroptra -------------- add $45-65+
*Above prices are subject to change due to recent lack of mutations being bred.



Prices of Feather Mutations:


Tyto Stryx:

damphyrHorned --- add $40+
SnowflakeSilken ---- add $50+
RzeroRoyal ---- above $250++

Corva Stryx:

damphyrHorned --- add $70+
SnowflakeSilken ---- add $100+
RzeroRoyal ---- unknown <--- no previous record of sales; too few in existence

Harpia Stryx:

damphyrHorned --- add $120+
SnowflakeSilken ---- add $170+
RzeroRoyal ---- unknown <--- no previous record of sales; too few in existence



"Why is a silken worth more than a horned?"
If you breed anything with a silken, there's a chance to get a royal. A horned only produces more horneds, unless bred with a silken/royal itself.



Basic Percentages at a Glance:


[This is for when only one of the parents carry the gene(and the gene is non-dominant) while the other parent doesn't]
Bullet; Orange25% chance to get soil
Bullet; White10% chance to get snow
Bullet; Black1% chance to get nox

Bullet; Green25% chance to get a common marking
Bullet; Blue10% chance to get an uncommon marking
Bullet; Red1% chance to get a rare marking

[Please note that marking mutations are random and do not pass down from parents]
Bullet; Purple0.1% chance to get a marking mutation (career breeders have 0.2%)
jsenn the beloved0.5% chance to get chiroptra (career breeders have 1%)



Rule of Exception: depending on the difficulty of obtaining the gene combination, the prices may cost more than using the above prices to calculate.
Examples of exceptions:
- 5 markings genos; it is difficult to breed for and essentially close to what you can get with a semi-custom
- a geno with 6 or more markings is considered a genobomb and very hard to obtain
- base color rarities + markings: e.g. a nox harpia with 4 common markings is going to cost more per marking than a soil harpia with 4 common markings
- marking mutations and feather mutations combined with multiple markings and a good base, can make prices skyrocket.
- any stryx which carries the galyx marking with other markings, the price per marking will increase as well; this is because galyx affects all markings and turns them iridescent.
- stryxs with very short lineages or lineages that do not contain very commonly-bred parents will generally cost more. E.G. a nox stryx who does not have Noctus 076 in their lineage

This is a great guide! :D But how about the prices for Gryphs and Hawks since they entered the game now :) Is there an average to help you come up with a price?
