Thanks for your feedback Bill. And I appreciate your compliments on my sharp girl

As for demand, don't forget that marketing creates demand. Otherwise there would be no such thing as marketing, adverstising, and sales people. Also, you mentioned new morphs in low supply with a low price tag. The economy easily affects price as the newest greatest thing is only a worthwhile purchase if it makes economic sense. Also, it needs to be appealing. I don't know which mutation you're referring to, but maybe it's appeal is limited to a few folks in the hobby...?

Finally, I think just using the word "demand" leaves a bit unexplained (but it's what we've inherited so I do it). A lot of people can want something and therefore create "demand", but only those with the money to pay for it create the TRUE demand that is associated with the supply to figure out an equilibrium price.

Again, good stuff Bill. Thanks for your comments and insight!
