Maybe they want to undercut the big wholesalers and the big box stores, because they believe these big chains and wholesalers treat the animals badly?

personally, i would rather undercut the market for a morph that really has bottomed out by selling a pin for 75 and having contact to the next owner, when the alternative is to dump it to a wholesaler for 30, who then trucks it across the nation, and it ends up as an underweight BP in poor condition in some big chain where someone you will never meet picks it up for 150 or something. Because it looked so different from all other BPs the store had, and someone needed to buy it to give it a better home, poor underfed thing.

I have sold wholesale to get rid of my spiders and pastels. But I was picky about who I sold to, all private dealers that I know personally. I would neither sell on the open market at $75, nor give it to a dealer when I know it's going to end up in a petco.


I dont think dumping pearls in front of pigs by injecting morphs into the mainstream pet trade is the solution.

100% agree


about the specific morph: lets face it, the times when a pinstripe female, let alone a pinstripe male, was an animal desireable for breeding are long gone. its a pet, or for hobby breeders that are not in for the money. prices for lemonblast, bees, jigsaw, super pastel, or firefly are low enough, these prices are already in the lower 3 digits.

fair enough.
