How expensive is a sphynx cats and do they have nice personalitys?

I currently have 2 Domestic short hair cats . One Female tuxedo and one male brown tiger. They get along for the most part. I am thinking about buying a Sphynx cat or kitten. I saw one at a cat show and loved it. I was wondering how expensive do they run? Do they have nice personalitys and do they like to be picked up? Will they get along with other cats?

1. yes threre nice and 500 - 1000
2. The Sphynx STARTS at around $800 for a pet quality cat. Show quality cats run into the THOUSANDS. Are you aware that since they lack fur they're VERY sensitive to both heat and cold? Are you aware that since they don't have fur to absorb oils they must be bathed WEEKLY or they get really greasy? I don't think it would fair to have a Sphynx in a home with two other cats especially two that "get along for the most part". This would imply there's cat fights and a Sphynx's lack of fur means it can easily get scratched up since it has no protection. Personality has NOTHING to do with the breed of a cat - every cat is different.
3. Sphynx are nice cats and do get along well with other breeds. They can be expensive and beware of low prices, not all breeders are reputable. Here's an article about cat breeders, it's about Maine Coons but applies to any breed. http://www.absolutelycats.com/22BuyingKitten.html http://www.absolutelycats.com/23Sphynx.html http://www.absolutelycats.com/24SphynxGallery.html good luck!
4. Those are those cats that are hairless. I don't know if they have a nice personality or not, but I do think they are very costly.
