I said I wouldn't do business with someone if I don't like how they conduct their business. I didn't say that I wouldn't buy from someone simply because they were selling a certain morph cheap. If I bought a Spider from someone last year and I paid $17K for it, and then this year I saw them being one of the first to put out an ad for Spiders and they wanted $7K, I wouldn't be happy.



I think that is very bad business. Why would someone drop their prices $10K in just a few short months. Obviously to get the first sales and not care at all about the money that I invested in their animals several months earlier. There is no need for a $10K drop, no matter how many Spiders people think are out there. That is bogus.



I could see bringing them down to $14K, but to cut the price to less than half of what they were the year before is bad for business. Meaning their own business. It makes them look greedy, desperate and/or stupid.



And I don't think everyone is out there looking for the cheapest animals either. I would rather a good looking animal that is eating and pay a few dollars more, than an ugly animal that has never eaten.



Greed, desperation and stupidity are the biggest problems in any business. And that is what is wrong with the snake market, no matter what the morph.
