Times are tough.
The problem is a lot of sellers are not in it for business, so they could care less about what is good and bad for business. Then some that are in it for business don't understand business.

Then yes the economy right now has been contracting for 4 to 5 years, you can see it by looking at our GDP growth. Fewer people are actually employed. A lot of people are making a lot less than they did before, resulting in a lot of people forced into selling animals at a low price since it is a supplimental income that they need to pay to upkeep their collections. Then a lot of college kids which accounts for the majority of this kind of businesses customer growth can't find work at all or work that pays their college loans.
