price dropping

[Raven01]

i just need to rant here...
i HATE it when i see someone selling a snake, or snakes for 2-3 hundred dollars less than what the "going rate" is.
yea,,, a few people get a few good deals,, and yea, the seller gets a little cash quicker,,,, but by doing this, it bottoms out the true value of a particular snake. before you know it, 2011 pieds are going for 4-5 hundred dollars,,, oh wait..............................................
spooky

There is no "true value", period.
Only what people are willing to pay.
If you get into it as more of an investment than an actual enjoyment of the animals, well it sucks to be you.
Also, if you pay 20k for an animal that is being mass produced then you have no one to blame when the market drops but yourself for not researching your "investment" thoroughly.
If you want value that stays consistent, look to multi-gene animals.

Edit: Ugh, year old dead rant. Nevermind, I was never here.
