I mean, if you're not in it for the money, and I would guess that many who have posted in this thread have publicly stated that they do not breed for the money, then what possible difference can it make to you what the average price is?

And, if that price is inconsequential, of no importance because you do not breed to make money, then why, if you would be so kind as to explain to one of my limited faculties, is there so much complaining about prices?
I think many (not necessarily saying those in this thread) saw BELs for $4k, Bees for $2.5k, etc and thought it'd be an easy buck to make not recognizing that others had the same idea so supply increased, and prices fell. Basically their get rich scheme failed.
