Is it just me or have the prices of het albinos really plummeted?

i dont think it is the prices of hets that is the problem. i think it is the fact that the actual albinos are droping. and as you can proabbly guess that is driving the price of hets down fast.

I got a great deal an a female het albino from Ian at the Tinley Park NARBC in October. The deal was almost "too good to be true", but people assured me Ian was a stand up guy with good prices, and that I had nothing to worry about.

Proves my point ;)

It seems logical to me.. back in the day, albinos and other morphs were much rarer than they are now.. so it is only logical that as more people own and breed a certain morph, and more people are selling the morph, its price will go down.

It's a free market.

Much as Ian might be flattered by your suggestion that he controls the market (which couldn't be farther from the truth), the fact of the matter is that as much as increasing the supply drives prices down, bantering on and on about the sky falling on message boards on the internet doesn't do much to increase the comfort level of prospective buyers as well. For every buyer than reads a post about falling prices and thinks, "well, maybe I shouldn't get into this project" the demand decreases, further lowering the price.

Guys, more people are producing albinos...its supply and demand. Not Ian, not anyone else.

I hope prices stay as high as possible for as long as possible.
