    In the end, I think MKR just hurt themselves. I don't think that these animals will lose some major value unless he's able to really vamp it up and get them into the hands of Jimmys. And if they did, the Jimmys are crazy to sell at that price, even they SHOULD know they could get so much more. I could see 600 out of 1200 for them, but to sell at even half that would be 12500.
    Eh.
    I'm running low on .02$. I think i need to start leaving that extra 0 i keep mistyping lol.

    The possible concern is, I'm sure any Jimmy with a couple Mojaves to sell (not knowing if MKR has 2 or 20 left), may start dropping their price from $1400 to $1000 to $800 as well to compete. This could be the real problem, get 2-5 Jimmy's nervous and in a panic with 5-10 or 15 Mojaves to sell and they may start back pedaling even further/faster!


    The sooner those MKR ads run out, the better!

    It is fine and dandy for us to speculate all day long about the motives of this move but it's pure speculation at this point.

    Contact MKR and ask Wes or Joe to post here and clear things up. If they do this then it will be up to you to take it for what it's worth. I think the truth is more simplistic than it appears :cool:

    The only thing I know is what I was told BY JOE himself. And you can read what I wrote on up.

    they didn't do it for money, they have enough. it's not like they needed a little more to pay the utilities! they timed it before daytona for a reason! and they screwed their previous customers for a reason too! this is not a supply and demand issue, it is one breeder dumping on 2 morphs(mojo's/lessers). they do not have enough to flood the market and "crash" anything. it is not to point of a semi-truckload of mojo's/lessers headed to petco! lol if everyone else does the right thing, the market and supply and demand will take care of itself.

    Wow 90% off that's ridiculou's , that's as dirty as it get's. I'm staying with recessive's I think it's safer. I doubt this guy will show up at daytona I don't think it would be a nice trip. Plus he probably sold everything anyway.

    Exactly, supply and demand should iron things out because someone stepped in and bought as much as possible so that these animals are not all over the place.

    As for what MKR has to say about its reasons, don't expect the truth. They are irrisponsible, shouldn't be trusted with any future new projects and are now the biggest jimmy ever!

You didn't hunt down these animals, you didn't first work to test their genetics, basiclly i find it EXTREMELY disrespectful to the people that came before you.

    Now this is all my way of thinking, and the end.

    Welcome to the world of free trade. If you want to protect your morphs, patent them!!!!!!!!!!!! It is that simple!!!!! We do it in the plant world everyday!

    I also look forward to the day my son can buy a spider at a reasonalbe rate.
