Just saying that you will still make your money off the snakes doesn't answer the question. MKR has come out and stated that their intention is to put all the other Ball Python breeders out of business. Delusional, I admit. However, my question was, what if they were aiming their sites at your precious Boa market. You would be crying your eyes out and calling everyone you know since you just spent so much money on Boaphile cages and high end Boa morphs. Its you that doesn't get it and never will. I guess we can chalk it up to inexperience in the ways of the world. Too bad we can't say that for some of the other MKR supporters.

Um... your scenario gave a 60% drop... what if it were a 90% drop like MKR did? Now your 5 babies are only worth $500 and the next year they will be worth $50 (I wonder when you'll make back that $1000?).
Oh, what was that? MKR just undercut you and sold to your customers? Gee... maybe you can trade those 5 babies to Petco for some feeder rats.

Re: My dealings with MKR
In this thread, personally, I merely posted my thoughts on a breeder who's shaking things up in a bad way. How will we all feel when we see pasels at petco for $80? I can't see why this breeder had to do this; they could have enjoyed the awesome market for these snakes the way it was, in which people basically worked and strove toward those high dollar morphs...
I am not posting another thread about this breeder, personally. I am going to try and pretend they don't even exist; I am tired of providing them free advertising by even talking about them..

Ball pythons:
0.1 normal; 1.1 albino. 1.0 pied; 0.1 het pied; 1.0 banana.

Re: My dealings with MKR
Why support the type of person (Joe) that runs MKR?
Doesn't anyone (except maybe a few people) see that there is more to buying an animal than strictly price?
MKR has stated they dumped animals to get even with bigger breeders. They SPECIFICALLY stated they want to hurt Bob Clark, Mike Wilbanks, and NERD. In addition, all small breeders are going to be put out of business by MKR.
The way they go about selling their animals is the problem.
Stop looking at MKR as being the cheapest and look at MKR as a whole. They have no regards for anything except to make as much money as possible and put anyone who upsets them out of business.
This is not the type of company anyone should be supporting.
They hurt the BP market with the dump. They are now moving onto the gecko market, and who knows what else from there. These are not animals to them. They are (to quote Joe) "products".
Everyone says great they have cheap prices. Well, what happens if you pay $1000 for an animal from them today and next month they sell them at $100 each? What if the next year they are $50? You will have in reality, spent $1000 for a $50 animal according to the market. Smaller breeders will be out of business because they cannot produce on the scale MKR does, and larger breeders will be hurt because of trying to compete with MKR.
The mission of MKR is to make as much money as possible in as little time as possible (to quote Joe again) $1 million in 20 days is the goal".
They will get there ANYWAY they can. People who look at nothing besides price will help them.
THERE IS MORE TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING AN ANIMAL THAN PRICE!
I really don't undertand some people. How can you listen to the way MKR talks to people and how they view the market and STILL send them money.
How can you give money to someone that publicly threatens to put others out of business and goes on to belittle them?
I don't get it.
It seems that the lowest price, no matter who gives it to them, is all that some people care about.
Charles Manson could be a top player in the reptile marketplace as long as he had the cheapest price.

The only thing I will add to this thread is that after seeing his arrogant attitude on BOI I know many people who will be steering very very clear of him.
Good luck with your scaley kids Jessica, be sure to post pictures!!

Old Charlie would have done a better job with their recent attempt at an online marketing campaign as well! Charlie's ramblings seem downright coherent after watching the latest episode of Morph King TV!
