So am I wrong for saying it looks like a liver color? or a faded out liver color with this picture? or do you still think it's a blue GSD? and yes it does look like it has some yellow eyes too.

RDH no problem. I just scrolled down farther from the ad that you pulled up and found it.

These puppies look like a blue sable. The blue dilution gene in german shepherds is not related to any health issues and it has been proven. Also the liver gene is also seen in labrador retreivers. The "chocolate" labs are livers and they too have no related health issues just by the pigment of their skin or coat. Kaffirdog was right when they said the eyes will stay blue till around the age of 6 months then it will change to a varrying colour of light brown to almost a yellow colour.

very cool looking mix breed. It has some piercing ice blue eyes!!! The eyes alone would give anyone a 2nd thought of approaching.

Blues and livers usually have eyes of a lighter color that often seems to have almost a hint of greenish to bluish in them, than black pigmented GSDs.  Their light eyes go with their blue or liver dilution of coat color.  What is REALLY weird looking is to see lemon-yellow eyes on a solid black!  (And such things as yellow eyes in blacks or bicolors do occur)

I have also seen a number of times, normal black pigmented pups with dark eyes as young pups, whose eyes turned an orangish color, then as they matured, turned back to dark brown.  I've seen 4-6 month old pups that had one light brown eye and one dark brown eye (black pigmented pups)

Blues tend to darken as they mature and as adults, blue sables may be difficult to tell from black pigmented sables until you get the two colors side by side.  Sable is a PATTERN, not a color.  A dog's black or blue or liver color may be of any pattern, sable, saddle, blanket, bi, or solid.  The ground color of the dog (red, tan, cream, silver) is unaffected by the liver or blue dilution. 

All puppies ground colors tend to be less clear than they will be when the puppy reaches adulthood.

It sure looks like a blue sable to me.  Just a sable dog (hetero or homozygous) but also homozygous for the blue dilute.  If you want to see how the eye color changes over time, just look up pics of blue great danes on the web.  Most of the eyes will be washed out by the light, but you can see in some that the eye gets lighter until young adulthood, when it ranges from the grey of the coat to a lighter gray-yellow or dark straw.  The eye is NOT the bright blue eye of a husky or aussie -- it is a brown eye washed out by a double dilute recessive gene.

As Captain Max said, the color is the last thing to think about.  I don't at all object to selling such a pup straight up (not discounting for show fault, unless it was a show breeding), but to charge more doesn't seem right, either.  Then again, it's a market...
