Re: People claim recessives hold value more... but...
Even if you conmpare the Super Pastel to the Albino, and the Pastel to the het Albino. The market will most likely reduce the price of the pastels, and super pastels as more and more people produce them. So they price will drop dramically in the next few years(supposedly) as the market becomes flooded. The albino being more difficult to produce, being a recessive, will still hold the price a bit better. What were pastels going for 2 years ago? And now? Supers? Comparing the price DROP in a set period of time is a better way to compare the "holding value" not actual dollars.
As more people can afford and realize that morphs exist, I believe that the albino and the pied will ALWAYS be a extremely popular choise simply because they are visially 'different' to anyone's eye. Of course WE would look at a cinnamon pastel and go ga-ga, where the average joe will look at one and go.. 'ehh, so it is darker'.
So the price fluctuation will also depend on demand. Pastels are not all that different to the average joe, not compared to an albino, or good lord! A snake with WHITE splotches.
MYself, I see recessives holding value better, especially as the combos become popular. I will be trying to use pastel females to produce things like bumblebees, rather than super pastels. (After I use a pair to produce me MORE pastel females that is). Why? #1 I think bumblebees are a more visually stimulating morph and therefor a better sell. #2 I want a bumblebee for ME, I love em, and I can't afford one myself right now. I do think they will come down in price soon, but right now I have the makings, so I can make my own rather than wait for the price to come down. So I will. And if I happen to make a couple extras to sell while the price is still high, all the better. I can buy myself a couple more visual pied females maybe.
End result,(Sorry for rambling on, haven't had my morning tea yet) I truely believe that recessives are the stronger. Of course if you can get in on the first generation of something new, be it dom or rec, you will be better off money-wise for selling.
Shutting up now,
Blabbermouth Wolfy
