Do people really buy these??

If I had the money (which sadly I don't), I would absolutely pay for a few of those... I'm obsessed with striped and/or "jaguar-type" BPs, so #5, 8, 10, 18 & 20 would be worth every penny IMO. Even if they didn't prove out, I'd still have a majorly awesome looking normal! :gj:

I don't know, I think the whole dinker thing gets out of hand sometimes. I'm in agreement that for me at least I would want to see others of the same clutch with the same traits that make the animal I'm purchasing a "dinker" to help point me toward it being genetic. But then again maybe I'm just stingy. Lol

I personally would never buy an overpriced dinker. Honestly, I would probably never buy a dinker at all unless I was almost positive that it would turn out genetic. It takes years to prove out a morph. I would rather use my time on genetics that I know will pay off. From what I have seen, mostly new hobbyists are the ones that buy these types of animals. That is not always the case, but more often than not. I would also never sell a dinker animal for anything other than a cool-looking normal. I personally do not agree with selling normals for more just because they look different. Normals are extremely variable, and I am sure the person selling them knows this.
