I did but was on the fence because of what we are discussing right now. It is inevitable that the prices will come down, just the way supply and demand happens to work out. No one can predict the price of a male maker banana in 2014/2015 but I am certain it will not be $7500 nor will it be $75. The price will eventually plateau and I will buy into the project at that time if it fits into what I am working on.
Also, remember the season is young. Lots of breeders are having late seasons this year so expect to see some more price drops coming in Sept/Oct. Search for banana on KS resulted in 14 hits. Cheapest male maker I found was $5495 and I found some more females which is great. It looks like females may be holding some value from a few months ago.
