I think what you are saying is that the "morph" peope who do not morph with the times will be left with $100 albinos and $40 hypos. But what most morph people do is that they change with the times...they morph. If you like albinos, then you wil always have albinos. But you will be breeding them to your albino ghosts, your snow leopards, your motley snows and so on and so forth. I started out with cornsnakes when blizzards were $200 babies. Now they wholesale for $15. But to get a striped opal or type"A" bloodred motley, (just examples) you will spend $200-400 or more. Of course albinos are going to go down in price. But not now, and maybe not for a few years. They have been in the $800-1200 range for a few years now, and with the new morphs coming out, they will stay there. It is all about what you want to do. Do you want to keep nothing but albinos? Then in a few years you won't get what you want for them now. But if you like morphs and can stay "in the loop", then there will always be a market willing to pay "market price".
