Default Question for White Lined (Vitattus) Owners

I am curious, what is the approximate price range that you bought your White Lined Geckos at?
For those that have Captive bred, did you pay more than for the Wild Caught specimens?
I'm just trying to get a fair price range for these guys, (U.S. Dollar amount please!) I know they're seen at petstores occasionally, but I haven't ever seen one and so I have no price to go on.
Thank you for your help!

Ken Foose is selling nice imports for 20 bucks each. Locally I've seen run of the mill imports (skinny, broken tail, scarred etc. ) for 9.95, and PetStupid has a couple for 13.99.

I've got one that lives inside the steel leg on my feeder rack you could have for free, if I could ever catch the damn thing Got her to keep the roaches in check, but instead she is keeping my fruit fly clean up crew in check. Guess mourning geckos are a better meal than roaches lol.

I paid $100 CDN for my breeding pair. ( Sorry ... didn't translate into US funds ). But I figured that was a decent price considering that they were already breeding and the female has laid 2 sets of eggs since I got her.

Thanks guys, this helps give me a general range.
I am male heavy and have some people interested in my extra male, but I want to be fair.
The juvie is CBB, (I still can't sex the little critter though) and my one I'm male I'm considering selling is a beautiful specimen, healthy, active, large, eats great, strong white line, and is the proven sire to my juvie. He was given to me with the Juvie as the mother, but when I saw his vent, I was all, "uhhh, this is the Dad!!! "
I wanted it because I was looking for a girly for my original male.
So in short I ended up with two males and an unsexed CBB juvie!
I'm pretty sure the "Dad" is WC, but probably long term captive. Someone treated him right because he's perfect, strong and healthy.

We paid 27.99 USD for our White Lined Gecko at PetCo. We had to get him out of that place! They knew nothing about him so we don't know if he was WC or CB. Considering their life span and potential size, I think somewhere in the range of $30 is more than fair.

wow I could make a living in the States. here in Indonesia, white line only tagged at USD 5, 6 the most. I know it's a WC, not a CB. you can find them easily in the forest and near forest villages.

but one sure thing is, not many herp enthusiast that keep white line here. maybe because they consider it as a local species. they more likely into leopard gecko and african fat tailed.

I live in the US, in the northeastern portion, and I got both of mine from Herp shows for 5 USD.
