I hear alot of people have misconceptions on recessives holding there value compared to co-doms. I actually believe it to be the opposite. When comparing Pastels to Albinos it may seem that the Albino held its value longer than the Pastel. Except for the fact that the Pastel is just a visual Het and the real comparison is the Super Pastel to the Albino. I believe to this day a Super Pastel will sell for more than an Albino. It is also much easier to sell a "visual het" than to sell Hets that appear to be normals.
You have a point, but at the same time look at het super pastel (pastel) prices now compared to what they were five years ago. People are pretty much giving them away now.
