Reverse studding price check

Reverse studding price check
Posted 2021-11-18 10:51:39
I've been thinking about getting into the reverse studding market (selling my girls' heats), but I have no idea what heats usually go for, or whether it'd be worth the time and trouble. So I thought I'd post a few sample girls to see what the market is like.
- I'm not actually selling any heats yet, just price checking for now.
- If the answer is "nobody would really want to reverse stud those wolves" that's okay, that's valuable info! I will not be offended.

Kaeya - NBW
741 stats, mild finisher lean (221 str)
T2 galena 4M (including white merle, 2 lunar marks)

Bullet Liger - Gen 4 (notable lineage: Ratatoskr (is he notable? idk))
923 stats, young chaser (277/299 spd/agi)
T2 auburn 6M

Irrigo - Gen 6 (notable lineage: Sunfall, Michael Scott, Emperor, Garviel Loken)
1122 stats, mild stalker lean (315/269 wis/smarts)
T2 lavender 6M (including auburn agouti, luna inv cross)

Lebkuchen - Gen 5 (notable lineage: Emperor/Swiftflame, Michael Scott, Orion/Coalchaser)

Since nobody else is posting, I'll just ramble to myself a bit (comments/thoughts are still welcome ofc).

When would I buy a reverse studding? Most of the time, I'd just buy a pup. (Examples: Wanting a hunter pup who's not related to any of my existing lines, or getting the latest Gabre x Swiftflame stat hotness.) Less hassle and just as good. But I can think of two situations where I'd want to reverse stud:

- An heir for my pack: My pack leaders are all male, and it's hard to find pairbonds for them because they're related to most of my other pack members by now. I might do a reverse studding arrangement where the female is sent to my pack, pairbonds him, births an heir, and then breaks his heart and runs back to her original pack. (Specs for this wolf: 1000+ stats [preferably 1100+], favoring strength/smarts, and unrelated to my lead. Because it involves making/breaking a pairbond I expect I'd pay a lot for this.)

- Raffle stud breeding: If I won a raffle stud breeding and I didn't have any suitable females for breeding, I might hire a girl to come over. (Specs for this wolf: Level 20 NBW, doesn't have markings in slots with key raffle marks, bonus if she matches the raffle stud's base and/or has good markings. Honestly I'm a little skeptical about the whole raffle stud business in the first place, I'd be paying a bunch for wretchedly low stat pups that I wouldn't want to keep in my pack...but I guess that's another topic)

So that's a pretty limited set of circumstances. Granted, my playstyle is pretty insular; I breed almost all of my own wolves and only occasionally buy an outside pup when I need one for a very specific purpose. If I got into the reverse studding business, I'd be marketing to people with different playstyles than myself.

I also still have no idea how much any of this costs :|
