I guess great minds think alike. I find it hard to believe that the price of piers have dropped as much as they have in 3 years. I did notice the breeder I paid 2600.00 per pied for sold his last baby pied from last year for 700.00. I don't know if he needed the money or just wanted it gone, but that is what drives the prices down. Now because one person sold for 700.00 that is what buyers will expect to pay. My investment in time and money will not allow me to drop the prices like that. My 2c worth.
