Just a guy that's upset that he can't sell his animals at a high price. Myself being a breeder just starting out I look at any business plan. If you want to sell your product you have to be cheaper. When my company is looking to have work done we take 3 bids. Whoever is cheaper takes the work. We do take into account quality but with snakes quality is in the eye of the buyer. I have bought some snakes at a fraction of big breeder prices that looked way better. When I sell my animals I will be looking at what that particular snake is going for on several sites and sell it for just under that. That's the way business works and there is no getting around it. If I want to sell I have to be cheap. Nothing against nerd but I would never buy a snake from them. Not because I don't want to but because I can't afford to. They price their snakes so high that I'm not willing to pay for the nerd name. I can't get the same quality from some guy breeding out of his basement. Just my .02
You are entitled to your opinion but once you get that great deal from someone selling his or her animals below what is considered market value then what? Depending on the size of the animal will have to wait to breed it. Then once you do you will see that the price you thought you were going to be getting for them (what you paid for) most likely has decreased by around $150 per animal. So then you market your animals even lower. You see this cycle? It's not about the money but it is important to try and break even at least. Most hobbyist buy base morphs so they are able to create their own multi-gene combos. I'm not saying people don't buy them because they do, but in my mind they are more difficult to sell.
