i seriously cracks me up whenever i see another worn out rant about "irresponsible" breeders who commit the odious sin of advertising animals THEY OWN at prices the sanctified breeders disagree with! this is not the Soviet Union! lol!

how pathetic would Ford Motors be if they ranted at Toyota for advertising suv's and hybrids for far less than what Ford wanted to sell them for?

"Dear Toyota or other competitor,
Do you realize you are destroying the vehicle market! We at Ford developed the assembly line, windsheild wipers and a lot of other things newbies like you stand on the shoulders of today! We have spent 100 years building this company and re-investing billions, and we are not gonna let a relative new guy on the block destroy by offering higher quality at cheaper prices! We demand you stop advertising your cars at prices they might actually sell for, and start inflating them immediately! Can't you understand this? The sheep will not know the difference, and by artificially inflating the market in this way, we'll all be able to make occasional sales to clueless newbie consumers for far higher retail amounts than what they currently should be paying (at least based on whatever resale price these clueless morons will be able to get on down the road after we cave in and let the bubble burst heh, heh, heh wink, wink C'mon Toyota! Join the guild! Let's all get ours while the gettin's good!

Truly,
Ford"

The only thing for certain is change.
I'm sure the dinosaurs were pissed about climate change back in the jurrassic period, and look where it got them?

If Ford got pissed at Toyota and advertised and sold '09 Mustangs for 90% off for 6 months, would that destroy the price of convertible muscle cars forever? Does any American company have the balls, drive or determination to stop looking for government handouts and start being truly competitive anymore?

Some people say the bp market is totally bogus and based on a lotta fluff because of the unscrupulous lowball advertising antics of the unenlightened??
Here's a news flash: The ball python market is as real as it gets! A living, breathing, puffed up, cuttthroat, competitive, volatile, always-trying-to-get-an-edge-on-the-competition, FREE MARKET where all the laws of the jungle apply! kill or be killed! adapt and adjust or become extinct. my advice is: pass through the pathetic price police phase as fast as possible, and figure out a way to make money off thousands of $10 pieds
