Ditto!! Falling prices just means more people will be able to afford them. Which means that you vastly expand your customer base.

The key is looking long term. I paid $1200 for my het pieds. Finally got a pied this year. I'm keeping him back, and will hold back a female if I get one next year. But from then on, I'll be selling them all. So even when pieds are selling for $400 in a few years, I'll be producing several of them and will easily make my money back on my initial investment.

So for the OP, yes you could have bought one, but now you'll have the satisfaction of producing your own (which can't be beat!!). Then just think long term, and you can still make back your original investment but will have had all the excitement along the way!
