    You can't get it because no one said it. He used the petco example to demonstrate the strength of a market and the value of a hands-on purchase...then when you twisted those words around to change the argument, he answered your new argument to say that you CAN SOMETIMES find genuine quality animals worth spending $80. No one said all petco ball pythons are more valuable than captive bred from good breeders...but that seems to be the point you want to argue.

    In that case, it sounds to me like you've got an excellent opportunity to build a business in a market with a void. I wouldn't see that as a down-side at all.

    guess my view on how to treat my customers is not standard business practice.
    Where did anyone here indicate that they don't value EVERY customer (those that can spend small dollars as well as those that can spend bigger). Why do you think anyone here doesn't treat their customers with respect and gratitude?

    Based on your earlier post, you should be giving that full back tat away for $25 to the guy who could only afford the name. Are you being disrespectful or ungracious because you don't do his full back for $25?

    No one ever said there was anything wrong with giving breaks to people either...but such things are done on a case-by-case basis. You don't build a successful business by giving your product away to everyone who wants it but can't afford it.
