Then again I have no problam working hard to get that extra money to later on get the snake I've always wanted that exact match in my mind instead of just going "ohhhh a morph, I want one this kind... here that $". When in my mind it's now the pattern or quality I really want. I don't buy a morph on a whim just because it may have a low ball sales tag.
This past weekend, at a local show here. People were selling albino balls for 500-550ish. One breeder (I wont say who) was selling his for $400 and had one for $300 on Saturday. I didn't think "OH awesome price" BUT first thought to my mind was "OMG whats wrong with them" (the snakes). Sunday he had his priced at $250. I saw that and refused to even look this this guys table. I just wanted to smack him.
If you are talking about the Mars show, I was at the show too and I know exactly what guy you are talking about. he sold my friend 2 normals for $20. Although they are normals that is dirt cheap, it doesnt get any cheaper. I have seen BPs adopted for more money. You made a good point in what you just said. I had already bought mine when I seen this guy and I was thinking wow what a deal but now Im not thinking that at all. :colbert: I never really thought about it that way but I should have.
