I love it when my words get pulled apart and analyzed.
I gave 2 examples of pricing that I have noticed. One that I thought was out of whack and another that I thought was appropriate.
No set market may be true in the most literal sense, but there is a known price range for most morphs based on what is selling, and outliers are and should be generally removed from the equation. Price cutters should be looked at a outliers AS SHOULD someone charging 300% of current "market." The idea that the whole thing is a true free-for-all and there is not a basic consensus on values is ridiculous as well. I do not believe prices should drop because a person or two undercut to sell theirs, but there is also a natural settling of prices over time related to many factors.
NERD can charge whatever they like, and the snake will sell or not. I am not accusing them of "mark up" directly, but if something is 50-300% (example numbers) over the average market value, it is what it is.
Either way, I am not here to be in a argument, just offering how I think about it.
To answer the OP: Maybe. If YOU think the name and the animal is worth the premium, then yes they are worth it. If not, then no, look elsewhere.
