    Re: Market "crashing"- your take on the future

    As with anything in the economy the cost that it takes to produce the good and the price of the good will converge over time. Remember when builders could sell houses for twice what it cost them to build them? What did they do? They over produced. Of course they did; that is what the going price incentivized them to do. That is where we are/have been with ball python morphs. Breeders can/have been able to sell baby snakes for much more than it costs to produce them. As other people have seen that they have said "we can do that to" the rate of production has increased. As supply has increased prices have naturally dropped. At some point the price will fall enough that it will not economically be "worth it" to produce more and the rate of production will decrease and prices will stabilize. I just think they will stabilize lower than most people think. Also there isn't one market. Each morph is kinda its own market. Different morph are farther along that path than others. This is seen as newer morphs come onto the scene and the pattern repeats. There are also a thousand and one other market forces at play, but that is my big picture take on the market spoken as a businessman that has an MBA from a top 20 school and considers himself to be a hobby breeder.
