First of all, nobody is dictating anything. How are retail prices determined. New cars aren't selling for 2K off the market. Labor, parts, time, contracts, etc. are all taken into account w/ slight overhead. Similar to if somebody put on the classifieds an ad for a 3000 normal honduran female--you know that is overpriced due to an established baseline.



I don't think a panel would ever be assembled. Just like I'm not sure if the market will correct itself without intervention, only time will tell. What you neglected to mention about Wall Street and stock markets is that intervention does happen (ie. Greenspan yawns).



I'm happy for Jon Lambert and the tangerine albino prices as they are magnificent creatures. I think he has tremendous animals and the addition of the vanishing tangerine albino helped that cause. I also think he is one of the few that actually has true tangerine albinos (which is another whole can of worms).



I realize it is a fun hobby, but if you buy high end animals and lose money continually, you won't have fun. Also, if this is just a hobby, then why not sell all animals at the same price.



Not trying to demoralize anybody and life is short so we should make the best of it. I hope the market will correct itself
