Agreed! I've seen pastel males sell for $50-75 lately. They are so cheap! Here's what I would do (and really depends on how much time and money you want to put into this hobby)...

I would pick up '09 spider & pastel females and a '10 pastel male this year. If you feed right, by '11 your girls just might be big enough to breed to the pastel male. You'd have the ability to make pastels, spider, super pastels, bees and of course normals.

I would not bother breeding a normal male to (what would be) such expensive females when male co-doms are dirt cheap right now and you'd be making much nicer (ie worth more money) babies much quicker.
