Im definitely not a newbie to owning/caring for herps, but I am to investing in high end morphs. Everytime, and I do mean everytime, I think I find a good deal a better one pops up. I understand that the market is unstable, but it makes me nervous to buy. I dont want to leap into an investment knowing that it topped out. Im NOT looking for a get rich scheme, but I do want something thats going to hold value long enough that I could atlest break even. Im truely a fanatic. I know competetion is fierce...For example, Ive found amazing looking Lavenders for 8 or 9k... Then I talk to someone thats willing to sell me a pair for that price. It just makes me feel like Ive already missed the 'BREAK EVEN BOAT'. Im sure I might get a lot people thats going to tell me: this is a hobby, or this is the way business works, ect... I understand that part of it. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.

I guess my question is:
1) How is everyone else holding up in their sales? I could imagine that sales must be down this year, even with all of the new 'must have morphs'.
2) Any other newbies or basement breeders feel the same way?
