This tends to happen more with dominant morphs rather than with recessive, because they can be made quicker and with less investment - meaning that you don't have to buy a pair to make more. The prices remain higher until enough people have breeder sized animals, and then theirs so much competition that the prices start falling. I remember people spending lots on Hypos, then when they became breeder-sizes, the prices started going down quick for the babies.
You're best bet to hold value is to breed them to other morph combos, or selectively breed them for premium looking examples. The Jungles that Steve (SDI) produces are terrific specimens from great selections, and still hold a good price.
