southern ontario breeders price wars

[Raven01]

Well up here in Canada we have roughly 1 dozen expos a year, and 1 major forum... they are all owned by the same guy. So if he chose to dictate the price of animals at his shows, or on his forum...well.... he probably could make a huge impact.

sure people would still sell for less on their won, but the mass exposure would be higher pricing.

What "mass exposure"?
If he did that I would stop going.
And, I bet I am not the only one.
Actually, that might get me even better prices since, I would develop a relationship with a few breeders so those less expensive snakes could find themselves just thrown in or greatly reduced after a few larger purchases.
Honestly, if someone buys a pair of $3k snakes off you and expressed interest in a pastel female hatchling or 2 can you tell me you wouldn't throw them in? Excluding of course special project "basic morphs" where you are trying to produce the highest quality or breed for exaggerated expression of certain morphs markers.


The line of thought you are endorsing is exactly why in Canada we have the worlds worst cellphone rates for the service we get.
Cartels and price-fixing is not the answer.
Breeding quality animals and setting what you consider a fair price is.
