    You bring up a good point. The people who look at their BP's as investments or as a business will complain the most. Those of us happy to break even or run at a slight loss every year (so we don't have to worry about dealing with the IRS along with the time required for overhead and administration of a business) will simply wait until the morph we want drops into our price range.

    Ehhhh... Idk about that.. I know a lot of guys who are very business savy. Being business oriented these guys understand that business is business and they understand the way that a free market works. That means investments pan out and some don't and they know how the world works like that. I would almost argue that the ones who are complaining are the ones who are in balls to get rich quick and dump 10k in overnight and then get mad when that plan doesn't reward them the next night.

    In all honestly.. paying 30k for a snake is absolutely insane. I love my snakes just as much as anybody else, have since I was kid. but there is a fine line to draw.. and spending more then 1k for a snake is insane

    Some people work smarter, the others work harder. I think what we're seeing here is dumb people complaining about having to work harder because they aren't seeing the intelligent solutions and they aren't planning ahead of the market. Those people should be working with legacy morphs at stable prices.

    So, it I had paid 15K for one last year, I would have plugged him into ALL of my girls this year. Let say I hit the 50% odds across the boards and had to sell them at 3K this year to compete with the new market. I would have easily made my money back and then some. People are just being greedy.
