Pastels as a morph are not junk - but a lot of people bought in as a start up morph and did no selective breeding, mass produced them and there are a lot of junk pastels on the market. Good high quality pastels are and will continue to pull in a decent price no matter how low the prices drop. As will pastels het for something else. Spiders will be right down there in the under $500 category next year - but they are still a good staple and a nice one will still command a high price. I will pass up a cheap snake any day for a higher priced stunning one from someone that actually cares about quality! JMO.
