What follows is the detailed chart we use to determine the price of llamas we sell.
It covers llamas from a value range of $3000 maximum to essentially worthless. Your basic llama starts with a value of $200.  from that number, it gains or loses value according to age, temperament, conformation, size, buyer appeal, and training.   Any llama whose value drops below  $100 is essentially worth no more than its hide.    This is the case with extreme training or personality problems, bad injuries or health problems, older animals, and dysfunctional conformation.  At this time, a point is valued at $20.

about temperament:  In a lifestyle (as opposed to a breeder) market, temperament is the single greatest factor affecting price, because it most directly affects how rewarding it is to own and work with an animal. We have ten descriptions in this category:  the most valuable is exceptional, by which we mean the llama as good as it gets, an animal who enjoys your company and will try its hardest to do what you want it to.   Following in descending order is trusting, the llama who can usually be field-captured and is easy to work with; cooperative, your basic easygoing or well trained llama with a generally good opinion of people; curious, which defines the llama who is at least interested in approaching to see if nice things are in the offing.  There is average, which typifies the untrained llama who has no prejudices, but prefers not to be caught;  shy, the llama who is somewhat more fearful than the others, perhaps a bottom-of-the-herd type who expects to be picked on or a slightly-misprinted male who worries about the possibility of attack; scared, same as above, but more so, which will start to affect other herd members; cranky, the llama who has had bad experiences with people or a genetically lousy temperament and takes several times the effort to train; and freaky, which describes a temperament about as bad as it gets, wild as a deer, hard to work with and sets off the rest of the herd.
 The points/value spread between  the best possible and the worst possible temperaments is $200 for non-breeding and $400 for breeding (in llamas, temperament is extremely hereditary).   The spread becomes much greater it this is compounded (as it probably will be) by training/PR points for an excellent temperament, who will probably be easy to train; and lost points for a poor one, who will likely develop some bad habits which often accompany difficult temperaments unless they are handled by very knowledgeable people with a good training layout.  This can cost the hard-to-handle 8 points (-$160)  and add up to 28 points (+$480) to the very best temperaments, which can drive the total spread between the worst and the best personalities (all other factors being identical) to $1,000.  Anybody experienced in handling both types will consider this a conservative amount.
