That's four sets of pastel genes in the mix (2 sets for each super). And Garrick said that his supers are crossed lines, so he can't even say which line is which. I know of two others that were priced as high as mine and two members here each purchased them, and I would have been happy with either of them as well.

    Will all my offspring be the best example of a pastel? Certainly not - but will my offspring be graded and priced accordingly? Absolutely. But by being very selective in not just my morphs, but also my normals, and selectively breeding for certain traits, I increase my chances of producing nicer animals. For me, it's like, why bother breeding if I'm breeding just for the sake of breeding - breed to produce the best you can - that starts with having nice animals as your foundation animals.

    I know that my tastes aren't the same as others, so I can only buy and breed what appeals to me - and for ME, I'm willing to pay to get what I want.
    i know youd pay for the quality you want as would i but lets say that someone were to produce an animal of the same quality of the one that you do and your price is 15% lower than theirs that doesnt mean that yours is 15% lower quality.

    if you didnt get yours already and one of the other 2 that got the ones that youd be just as happy with turned around and sold it for $100 less would you not of got it from them instead of where you did?

    im not saying that people shouldnt pay for what they want but sometimes you can find exactly what you want and pay less for it at the same time.
