The key was "compared to the rest of the market". I know the prices of Bps have gone down A LOT. So have the prices of houses, it is a market and right now it is buyers which is why some of us are buying future breeders and homes NOW to make a bit of profit later on. There are some bigger breeders who are holding on to higher prices and there are people paying those prices just to say I got a xxxx line animal. I have seen animals that are not top notch come out of these facilities. But hey, to each their own. I only mentioned it in my post so I would avoid comments that referred to the gap in prices. Sure you can pay $325 for a xxxx line male pastel. But he is just as likely to brown out as a small time breeder $125 pastel. I also understand that poor quality animals are cheapest. I am not looking for cheapest just not looking for mediocre with world famous name. Nuff said.
Said nicely - not mean :)
Hmmm, see - now I paid $375 for this pastel. I don't think that she's likely to brown out like your average pastel. In fact, she's even brighter and lighter yellow than in this picture now.
Again - I shop the animal, not the price. I have animals from Kevin at NERD, and I have animals from small hobbiest breeders. Kevin has not been out of line with pricing, and I didn't buy the animals because they came from him, but because he had exactly what I was looking for. Case in point - this enchi. Hands down the BEST enchi I've ever seen. I wasn't about to pass her up, because NERD was selling her.
