I wouldn't change my normals for anything in the world (except perhaps a Mystic Potion). I don't know. I think prices will still keep dropping until recessives stop at about 250-350, and double recessives 800-1000, and co-dom & dom about 50-150. Multiple mixes, complex morphs will still fetch a nice buck ie. Axanthic killer Bee.

Prices can not slice in half every year, but i don't doubt prices will continue to fall until they stabilize somewhere near the numbers mentioned above. I doubt the economic crisis has as much to do with the lowering of prices as the supply flood in the market. Because of this supply flood (which started a while back) almost anyone can enter and within two years he can be breeding and selling morphs.

Albinos in 06-07 were around $800-1000. If you picked up 2 females, one male albinos in 06, you could have had 4 clutches of eggs, or around 16 100% Albino eggs. That (at today's price of $450ea) is still $7,200 earnings in two years from a $3,000 investment. (You covered your investment and also got 110% return in two years, i don't know any banks that will give you half that much, the stock market in a good year gives you about 22%) Plus you also get a nice pet/display animal.

żIs anyone surprised why so many people started breeding? I'm not, and i am glad to see prices go down. I believe they are artificially high, I also think lower earnings will lead there to be less people that are only in it for the money.
