I agree there are situations where selfing a female for feminized seed is justified - But I personally won't pay $10 or more per seed for s1... UNLESS I see it's from a very WELL established breeder with some YEARS worth of good reputation from an equally established customer base.
There are just too many new bean sellers calling themselves breeders showing up on the scene offering 5/packs of S1s for 3 bills or more (100 dollars or more) with NO history of good rep to justify that.
It takes no labor of time or great skill to reverse a female cannabis plant.
I personally will pay the MOST for reg seeds.
I purchased a 5 pack of CSG's GDP S1 from another seedbank when they first were released. Out of the 5 GDP seeds, only 2 remained female. That's like... paying $50 per seed.
Those 5 GDP seeds were germed and grown side by side with 5 Ghost OG S1s and 5 Bubba Kush (katsu cut) S1s. The OG and Bubba plants remained female.
