Well somebody must be buying them or why would certain breeders continue to produce them. Way I figure it too if you are Bill Gates or some such and your kid wants a pet snake, you aren't waiting for them to go on sale for $30 down at your local PetCo LOL. (joking, I'm just joking!) Fact is, folks with money like quality and rarity it seems. Why would you spend ungawdly amounts of money on a certain car when any car will get you from point A to point B. Probably because you can afford to own that special vehicle, so why not have it.
