Why We Are Idiots For Using Kingsnake.com To Price Our Animals

[TheReptileEnthusiast]

A bunch of you talk about not breeding for the money but for the love of your snakes and seeing them do what they do. If you are not lying through your pants, then what, if ANYTHING, you get for your babies is irrelevant and you should politely excuse yourself from any conversation regarding prices since they don't matter to you. If you don't care about the money, why does it matter what they sell for?

I think is sucks that my many generations of work calkings are sold so cheaply by so many, but such is life. I'm not real fond of the fact that I help cheap FWC breeders sell but I'm not a discount house, and, such is life.

If you can't handle the ups and down down downs of this market, perhaps stamps or coins would be of more interest and less stress. Give it consideration.

Actually many of those who complain about prices dropping drastically on high end BP morphs do care about the animals. We don't want to see them end up like so many normal BP's and the calkings you mentioned passed impulsively from home to home via craigslist or ending up in shelters. Yes, prices should drop as supply catches up with demand, but BP morphs drop drastically in price long before supply comes even close to demand. The dropoffs we see are simply caused by people aiming to low. The motivation for this is purely for a quick sale. If people were chomping at the bit to pay $2000 for a hot new morph last year, why wouln't they one season later? I am not foolish enough to think that I can stop this from happening, I just felt like putting in my 2 cents, and I thank you for yours. I'm must say I'm not sure what coin or stamp collecting has to do with any of this, perhaps you are an avid collector and thus can recommend it?
