I think that I regret starting this thread at all... It's kinda scaring me... I agree with all the posts about breeding for the love of the breed and not the money... But I had expected to see some return on my investments to sink back into the hobby. If it's going to cost me more to rent a table and pay for gas to get to a show than I can make selling animals at that show... I think I will end up with more mouths to feed than I can handle long term. I would love to have 34523456 pet BPs but that just won't work for me. I need to be able to sell a few pieds and albinos so that I can buy axanthics het for pied because what I truely want is an axanthic pied. I need to sell some bees to afford to buy a clown to make what I really want, albino clowns... Etc, etc, etc.

I wonder if the majority of the reason prices are falling is the economy, and if that being the case the market will go back up when the economy gets better.... Or if these are permanent prices... I think really only time will tell with that and hopefully it will turn out well for those of us who stick with the game, versus those that sell their collections because they were in it for the money.


I have another question that maybe will have less depressing answers, maybe not...


Are we close to hitting a wall with the ability to create "new morphs" or are the possibilities endless? Is there a point soon where everything we can create will have been created? Will the only options then be the redundent "Hmm.... Is there anything else I can mix pied into?" ?

Or are there brand new morphs waiting to be discovered in the wild? Are there even wildly cool combos still to be made with what we have in our colections now?
