I don't worry so much about people and their "want" for stuff....or a "full cage" issue. Most of the BHP pairs I've sold.... have been to guys that had 1 too many pairs of Boas, Carpets, Bloods, etc....and were looking for something else.....a step up...if you will...as they were "bored" with the everyday stuff. (Or have been waiting their whole life until they could afford them). BHPs are close to the "end of the line" for many keepers (mostly because of price)....And, I find that there are still plenty of keepers who will sell something to put BHPs in their collection...(as most of the guys I've sold BHPs too...waited most of their life to get them). There are still a lot of those guys out there. In addition....there is always new people coming into the hobby.
I agree about supply vs demand...and judging from the amount of phone calls and e mails I get......there is still a big demand. With these animals though...people who are going to buy....want "the right ones" (as I been told each time I sell a pair) not necessarily the "cheapest ones".
I believe Womas will come back up over time as well. Most are selling their adults because of this perceived "tanking" of their market. Hell I sold 09 Womas... for double what people are asking on Kingsnake this year....they haven't seemed to "tank" to me or my wallet. Haha. Have they come down?....yes. Have they "tanked"?.....absolutely not. Quality always sells........regardless of price.
Cheers, D.
