I don't think high quality bees will have a hard time competing with the lower quality ones. Sure some people will pick one up as cheap as possible, thinking they'll make some money in a few years only to be disappointed because they don't see a difference between their bee and a spider.

For people who are picky with their bps, they will pay top dollar for a top specimen. I know I would. If anything I see the lower end ones probably being harder to sell once the market gets flooded with mediocre ones, where as top notch ones will still be somewhat rarer.
