I feel that there needs to be more light shed on what a person needs to understand and have knowledge of before becoming a "basement breeder" no offense Brian . I think if people could stifle their greed/excitement/whatever long enough to learn what it takes to breed, not just pairing and incubating but the business aspect of it the market would be far more stable than it is.
You appear to be lamenting what is called a "free market economy" while advocating what is generally referred to as "anti-competitive business practices".
