just like with anything else, if the supply is high and the demand does not extrememly surpass the supply, the price drops. forgive me if i am wrong, but it appears that he is saying in about ten years there will be enough people producing the high end boas such as snows, bloods, etc that they will have to bring down their prices significantly in order to compete with each other. this is normaly how supply and demand works. if you have something no one else has then you can charge whatever you want (high end boas). if you have something everyone else has you are more or less competing for having the best price (normal boas).
i cant completely agree that there will be NO high end market but i think the high end market will significantly change. animals with multiple morphs and new found morphs will be the high market because it takes time and money to produce a snake physically displaying multiple genetic mutations. just look at the corn snake market for example. you can find snow corns in petco, that has to tell you something.
