People actually pay for Ball Pythons?lol I at least have 5-6 offered to me free every month. In other words check your local rescue first before buying. Specially if you looking for a regular run of the mill Ball Python.
i wish my ball python was offered to me . But I paid 50 to take the ball python off my friends hands because he was having quit a trouble, but I'm glad I paid the 50 because its the bestest snake the in the whole wide world =P (sorry getting a little emotional). But if its healthy and eatting and you think its worth it, go for it.
