Giving things away and pricing things to actually sell instead of trying to run a unrealistic monopoly are too different things my friend.

Ask around not to many people appreciate someone stockpiling an army of a gene and then putting some silly price on something that clearly wasn't rare anymore anyway! The days of the overpriced markets have been adjusted and people are alot more cautious about what they buy nowadays after spending 20k on a snake that 5 yrs later is selling for only $400 . Doesn't take to long for people to figure out how this all works or better yet doesn't work in the case of overpriced genes.. In the end a gene is ONLY worth what someone is willing to pay for it anyway, not some price a person thinks is just the magic number to sell them for! BTW if you look back my prices on Mystics over the entire span of the project were realistic for an unproven gene . Just so happend that those that actually paid attention instead of laughing at the project gained alot from their risk, pretty much that simple. Truth be told the gene was GIVEN away to me not the other way around , if you want me to get into all that I can , again I doubt you or Ian would want me to get into all that today! I just passed on the good will a little to those that I felt looked at the project as one with alot of potential like I did! It's sad that I seem to get the blame for the phantom market dropping yet if the facts are brought to everyones attention the people that ruined the market were the ones holding onto their own lines of phantoms and were talking trash about the Mystics the entire time they were unproven as in the end that kind of talk literally was the talk that bit the very hand that fed them all on their very own project anyway! You see my line was equal to theirs from the start and a FEW people high up knew that information all along (there is proof if you doubt me I will provide it gladly ) yet some of them wanted to make people think it was nothing but a Mojave , WHY so they would buy theirs instead before mine proved out that is why, this isn't hard to understand IF your given all the facts ..

In the end the karma of what GREED can and will do to people and the genetics all came full circle the day the worlds first Mystic Potion hit the ground and the years of sweat I put into the very project so many laughed at for so long paid off in an explosive way and worked together to put things where they stand today and the Mystic gene is now FINALLY priced in reach to everyone like it very well should be anyway, afterall how rare was it can you say BIRTHING RECORD!

So who do you think really hurt the market the worst ?? Perhaps the people that talked negatively about the Mystics as afterall any gene is only worth what someone is willing to pay anyway and talking bad sure won't bring it's value up.. So need I contine Josh , I think if your smart you get my entire point here about holding the value of ANY project, HINT < HINT! But if you still don't see the light we can gladly continue here! I have all day as this is what I do for a living . Afterall I don't get paid by the hour you know,LOL !
