I am seeing the market as a whole crashing down with corns. I am seeing these newer morphs showing up here in BR at the chains just like others are seeing it in their parts of the country. I think part of the reason for some of the crash is the fact new $500 morphs look ALOT like the old $20 morphs, or are just not very attractive IMO. To me its a hobby. I could be playing golf instead, spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars a year on green fees, latest equipment, and all the rest of the hooplah associated with that hobby and not have one thing to show for it other than score cards or bragging rights. Its cool making a buck or two and maybe paying off some of the costs, but I dont look at it that way. If I REALLY want to make money, I would get a second job and I do not consider that a hobby LOL!!!

This year I am working with morphs and subspecies I LIKE. If I sell them at a show, great. If not and I can wholesale the lot to someone willing to buy all of them, great too. Thats just business. I am NOT going to undercut other vendors at a show and feel that is a HUGE no no!! My prices will be comparable. In general, I respect and personally know the other vendors I see at the local shows I do and do not want to get on anybodys bad side. But you cant tell me the other vendors arent cutting deals in onsies and twosies under my nose as well. If everyone starts firesaling, I may jump onboard too, or I may not. That will be my personal decision.
