I agree that when you but from NERD you are buying a little piece of mind that you know the animal was housed correctly cared for correctly and comes from good reputable genetics but I think that accounts for about 15% of the additional cost. The other 85% is the name.

As someone else stated if I'm looking for a soul sucker or some other NERD specialty then I'll go to NERD but something as common as a queen bee? No way I'm payin that price. Nice examples of morphs are out there without the exorbitant price tag.

Personally I think that's a fun part of this hobby. I have a list of a few animals that I got well below market value that are exceptional examples. I enjoy the hunt for the bargain.
