Lemonblast / Bumblebee - Crazy Price Difference?

I agree base morph price has little to do with. Supply and demand of the particular combo.

This is why, your not making much sense to me. Lets actually look at the prices of these morphs that are actually for sale from sources you listed.

BHB
Female Pastel 150
Female Pin 250

Male pin 175
Male Spider 140

NERD
Female Pastel 200
Female Pin 350
Female Spider 300

Male Pinstripe 300
Male Spider 250

so what I can see is pastels are significantly below the value of of pins and spiders to both of them. and pinstripes are worth more than spiders for both of them. makes perfect sense for the combos to follow the same way and then add in the factor of demand on the actual combo, there you have our market.

Wait, let me get this straight. You think that it's good that the price of Bees has been decimated (alittle over a year ago they were 6-1000$) and you expect the people who invested more money in the pin project to follow suit just to suit the low end market buyers needs? The best part is you use the betterment of the hobby as your excuse. How many snakes do you own Lance? Have you ever had a food bill that was $500+? $1000+? Knowing that you would have to do it all over in a month? 3 months?

I find that most people who complain about high prices in this industry/hobby, don't have to worry about the overhead of keeping a collection of any size (my small collection is under 30 but can induce some costs that must be offset to make it an enjoyable hobby) Not to mention the people who work with the more cutting edge genes, without the people who invest thousands into the early lines of new genes, you wouldn't have your $350 2 gene combination Bumblebee. So instead of whining that prices are too high, step your game up, get a better job and EARN what it is that you want. You'll enjoy it much better that way, trust me. Not to mention that people will still earn the money NEEDED to reinvest in this wonderful industry of ours, truly making the reptile hobby/industry a better place.

Big pin females are rare, easier to make a bee because of all the spiders & pastels out there,I got alot of female pins this year think Im going to keep a few.
