What you say makes sense, and is a pretty obvious "remedy", however, it is not at all realistic. KS is not the only place to sell Balls, and if you look at different sellers website's, the prices are all ready all over the board. Some sites have old prices, some have new prices, some have sale prices. I think the bigger breeders will always be able to sell for more, especially hets, and that is just a fact of life. I have had my adult Pastel male and 400 gram Mojave poss Het Hypo for sale for about a month, with several offers, but none that I have accepted. These are animals that I do not mind keeping, so the price I accept will be NEAR the asking price, or I keep them. The Mojave is my only male Mojave at this time, and is a poss het Hypo, so I will hold onto him and try to prove him a 100% Het, vs. sell him to a lowball offer. The Pastel is a good breeder, so I will keep him as back up vs. sell him to a lowball offer. Now, if I get some baby Pastels this year, I will take less than if I got a Pastel that is Het for something, and could replace my normal Pastel. Now, any baby I produce that is equal to or less valuable than my currant breeder, I will deal on, any animal that I produce that is "better", or higher end than my currant breeder, I will be less likely to deal on. Also, I will be more likely to deal on males than females for the obvious reason, I can keep back numerous females to add to my breeding program.
