Well, not really. The next new co-dom thing gets released for some big loot and few buy it. The breeder holds onto it works it into their other projects and looks to sell the more common mutations to pay the bills knowing they are only getting more out of the new Co-Dom. At some point they have made some Co-Doms that they can sell and have some combos and they now can drop the price to a price that sells and they do well. They leave out the first round of middle men and accomplish more for themselves in the long run.



I don't think you could call that a box.



But who am I, just a janitor and rat cleaner!
