1.0 GHI is next on the short list.... and he will see more than one female as well :gj:

Dude no worries, just send all your non-holdbacks to me. Problem solved. We don't want the USS GHI to sink! ;)

Where are all the female bananas? Need them to make supers but don't see many of them available. IMO the female banana price should be on the rise. Are breeders giving genetics guarantees on the male maker/female maker bananas?

Compared to many other morphs you don't see as many Bananas available... male or female. Females are out there. You said you had a line on one months ago? Should have bought her maybe.

I did but was on the fence because of what we are discussing right now. It is inevitable that the prices will come down, just the way supply and demand happens to work out. No one can predict the price of a male maker banana in 2014/2015 but I am certain it will not be $7500 nor will it be $75. The price will eventually plateau and I will buy into the project at that time if it fits into what I am working on.

Also, remember the season is young. Lots of breeders are having late seasons this year so expect to see some more price drops coming in Sept/Oct. Search for banana on KS resulted in 14 hits. Cheapest male maker I found was $5495 and I found some more females which is great. It looks like females may be holding some value from a few months ago.

One posted on fauna last night for 3500.

Another fine example of a meaningless, uninformative description of a Banana. Male maker? Female maker?

I would prefer to buy my high end morph from a more reliable breeder. For those of you that want a Banana of unknown origin, then you get what you pay for. I imagine these cheap Bananas will sit around for a while. Its like seeing an ad for a new Corvette for $20K.... something does not add up IMHO.

i'm not necessarily saying i wouldnt.. but people wonder why prices drop so fast. its supply and demand, and that's common practice when someone invests that much in a snake. but with that going on everywhere its inevitable the prices are going to drop so quick. that morph is no longer rare, so why would it demand a rare price tag? but in reality, 5-6 females? probably not. i may run him through 3. you're still going to get your investment back and some, but wont contribute to the crash as much. if everyone thought like that, prices may not fall off as fast, but they dont, so people do run them through all their females, thus all these threads of people complaining about investment quality morphs crashing. butcha cant stop it. it's like peeing in the wind.

Oh yes. Lets get a Banana male and pair him to my 10 females! Oh I have 8 females to breed this banana male to! Dang I just got a banana male, I’m gona breed him to my 15 females!
If 30 people have a banana male and think and do this very thing, what’s that do for the market? That’s exactly what a lot of people do. It's ignorant. There are TONS of bananas out there. If people were smart they would choose their breedings wisely and make just a few at a time to sell. Make just enough to further your projects and recoup your initial investment. It's called SUSTAINABILITY. Instead people have to slam as many females to their prized high end morph male as possible so they can help drop the value of the market. Mass production! lol

As far as I was meaning about Kevin. Ask him how he feels about what people have done to the Banana. Ask him how he thinks the banana market is going to look next year.

Anyone who thinks that they wont be 1200 or below next year is just not wanting to see reality. They just dropped from 10k to 8k to 5k and now about 3.5k in a matter of a few months. Last year people were still selling them for 20k.

Makes no difference to me. I will wait till im comfortable with the price fall before I get one. I want one just to have one, not to make money off it, most of the combos are ugly imo. I just wish people would think wisely with their investments. Make it last. Make your investment work for you. Don't just crash the market because you want to sell as many as you can to make a few extra dollars. That my friends is ignorant.

i kinda feel the same way. the banana itself is pretty dope, but most of the combos pretty much just look like bananas.. kinda like the albino. it just doesnt seem to bring that much to the table combo-wise. there are a couple neat ones.. but eh.
