hack...i agree with you! sorry bout my missprint..i meant $1500 not "$500" in my above post
i also agree with you about the longevity of lav prices...heck, the vast majority of breeders have never even seen an adult lav in person yet!!! just wait until more people do! also, for many years the early breeders of the lav project made double het crosses instead of more lavs...the project has far less of a presence than it should for being around since '01...i think it is actually far rarer than some hype it up to be??? just call all the biggest breeders of the lav project and see how many homozygous they have for sale right now lol!
also, the breeders fortunate enough to be currently working with the project paid dearly for their animals two to three years ago, and are probably not gonna be so quick to blow out the animals they produce based on all the hype about the "billions of lavs out there" because "everyone has them now" and they are "as ubiquitous as pastels and yellowbellies" chatter lol! also, since these same people have adult lavs, and know how incomparable they are to everything else in their extensive collections, they probably are not in too big a hurry to let babies go to begin with?? those who have never even seen an adult lav probably have an easier time fathoming significant price drops.
all im saying is, this isnt just another hot new codom! we are talking about the rarest, most beautiful of all SIMPLE RECESSIVES here...those of us who are excited about the prospects of waiting for lavs to get under $1500 like bumblebees are currently at, may be waiting around for a very LONG TIME lol! heck...pieds have been around 4 years longer than lavs, and were bred a lot more focussed than lavs were in the early days, they are not even down there retail yet?
