Looks like your kitteh comes from a long line of big pupils.
One of those bane's to my existance.
Though you have blondie foxie action going on,
its not a pure bloodline, so subsequent breeding
will be hit or miss.

Your whisker ratio is looking good, and
currently having 2 tone b+w is a plus.

The parents with the genesis tail are a flop,
and the kitteh is now suffering with one as well.

Dads side of the family is from the low rent end
of town, but moms may be able to toss something
redeemable in there.

Azure eyes, though attractive, are also very
dominent in the breeding end of things,
anything you put up against it gets stomped,
so be sure your a fan of that colour.

Most folks like the cutsie pie soft fold ears,
but thats coming from moms side of the family only.

The porcelain is kinda cool though,
not sure whos been hiding it all this time,
but Im a fan of that shade.
Has an interesting artificiality to it.

So my bottom line says the person looking for this
specific kitty is not going to pick it up for its
breeding potential.
They are going to buy it as a pet because its
purty and glossy, and they want to carry it around and
drench it in affection and name it some cornball
thing or another.
What that is worth is subjective.
The person who falls in love with the thing
will pay more than the noob with limited pocket change.

Best of luck in your endeavors!

RE: Help with Pricing
Congrats on that cutie Luna!!!!

I'm afraid I can't help with pricing, but I can venture that Porcelain's coming from Mum's side, since Dad has to be hiding Twinkle from his own Mum. Your girl is hiding Twinkle as well (unless there's a chance at blush or flash from grandparents -that depends on whether they were created after blush was released and whether there's flash in the background from the collection kitty the shade belongs now -all that information has been tangled up in my head but Deery keeps good track of dates and discoveries so you can look them up in her chart and compare). And she has a good chance of hiding Divine eyes from Mum, which are LE and rather rare (and gorgeous in my opinion Smile ).

I hope this helps

Absolutely.
And the possibility of an uncommon (ie: divine) eye colour may bring its potential up
to somebody looking to try and get some of that 'divine' action on a budget,
but I wouldnt think it would jack up the price substantially.

Luna, you just hit the nail on the head. If you want at least 1500 for her, then that's your price. If you take her to an auction, then set that as the opening and if it sells, great, you got what you wanted (and possibly more), if not, then you can keep her.

The best way to learn about pricing is to look for similar cats in auctions, bid boards and/or shops. Be aware, most auction openings can be well below what a cat would be priced in a shop, so I really recommend you research both ways.

RE: Help with Pricing
Auctions and bid boards .. yes .. if there actually are some bids.

Shops, bid boards with no bids, and actions going to "future sale", might tell you what price is "too much"; but they might also indicate something else entirely.

RE: Help with Pricing
As a general rule in regards to pricing of any kitty, I recommend setting the price where you're happy with it. If it's at auction don't set the price lower than your happy with for an opening bid, set it so that you're happy if it sells for just opening bid and does not get bid up. For example, I have kitties that I'll put up for say 2500, but start out at 2000 for auction. 2000 is the least amount I'm willing to take for the kitty, if it sells, I'm happy about it and feel like it sold for a fair price; if it gets bid up, even better! If it doesn't sell, I'm happy knowing that I didn't drop my price below my comfort level just to make a sale.
