Are you saying that pieds should be the same price as pastels? The main thing about pastels is that they are only hets for a co-dominant so actually the prices aren't that different when you compare on a het to het (het pied to pastel) and homozygous to homozygous (pied to super pastel) basis.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the price of pieds in the next decade or two. On the one hand, the visible het thing and high initial price has generated a lot of outbreeding and presumably a lot of hets that will be maturing soon. On the other hand, they are so stunning to look at that I have to believe that even their eventual stabilization price when they reach the pet market will still be high. Also keep in mind how much they have come down already. Weren’t they like 25K for males and 15K for females just 5 years or so ago?
