I agree that it seems silly to ask for that much money for a perfectly normal bp. However, any breeder has the right to ask whatever they want. I would bet that most (if not all) of us here at bp.net know better than to pay what seems an unfair price...so we don't have to worry about being "suckered" into such a purchase. And if some newbie thinks he's gonna get rich by getting such a steal on the next great morph...well...serves him right for not educating himself before making a purchase and/or being greedy. And then there is the person who just falls in love with that particular ball...knows exactly what it's worth, and is happy to spend $225 for it just because they like it so much.
In any of these cases...the price that person is asking does no harm at all....so it really doesn't bother me one little bit.
