this is quite true.
I had been planning to get a single gene bamboo male for some time. I was looking at them back in early july, and they were going for $2500. I waited until the big show in Daytona (aug 22-23), and picked up a bamboo YB male for $1800.
I just hope the price doesn't completely bottom out like the banana/CG have in the past 18 months. well, it is a great looking gene, so I believe I can get a decent return on my investment regardless.
