The thig is is even though prices are dropping any they will be the next corn snake a person can still make their money back if they are passionate about te hobby. Hell, if pewters drop to 50 and you paid 400 in 2-3 years you should have 100% of your money. So I don't think we should be shy about spending for a hobby. I think people making money days are over unless you have millions of lil snakies
