First I wasn't talking about your ads. Second, congrats on the your sales--tremendous animals. I only had 1 pre order on snows this year and he never replied back but I've sold out/traded my last 7 snows without even posting them. I don't think you can really compare show prices to net prices because the customers at the shows are really only looking to spend 500 at most (like somebody stated before). A few other shows, yes you will spend money.



I think bringing in more people will help in the long run but ones I have talked to are scared to even get into the market because of the trend. The less you have to spend, the more wisely you will. They need to see the leveling out before they will invest.



Back to the tangerine albinos. I think the emergence of the vanishing tangerine albino helped the cause of the tangerine albino price. It was something new and linked to your albinos. Plus, you have true tangerine albinos--somewhat rarer too.



The reason there are still snows available is because people are too afraid to buy them. Like you said about last year, I would buy them now but I'm not certain they will remain this high next year. I will probably turn my focus to my extreme, triple homozygous, and hybino projects--I haven't decided if I'm going to even breed any snows that aren't het hypo or poss het hypo.



We should move on, I was just commenting on the situation and a possible solution and I think most have been amiable to suggestions/points. That shows that we all care about our hobby/business---which is the best solution yet.
