I know......Why bring up the market discussion??
The way I see it, if John Doe wants to move some snakes real fast to pay taxes or whatever, he feels the need to drop his price below market to make a quick sale. Well, Jack Doe sees these low prices and thinks this might be the new market value and drops his price below John's because he also needs a quick sale to pay his taxes. (LOL, I use the example of taxes because I have seen this many times in the classifieds.)
Well, eventually the new market price is set.
WHAT IF WalMart has a sale on Sterilite tubs.........will every other retailer think this is the new price on Sterilites?? NO!!!!!!!! They just wait for Walmart to run it's sale and then the prices come back up to market.
REMEDY: When a breeder decides to have a sale (has surplus animals, needs quick cash for a project, etc), EVERYONE should maintain their regular prices and wait out his sale. I think the prices will drop at a slower rate by doing this.
Note: I know that prices will drop as supply increases, I just think that the rate of decline in prices can be slowed.
Okay, I know squat about economics, so feel free to tear this apart and educate me.
Thanks for reading!!
