I agree with you to a certain extent Daniel. But, if you buy a morph for $800 with the expectative to breed it and sell it for a similar value you are probably doomed from the start. By the time you are producing babies your morph is probably half price at best. Look at what happened with the piebalds. If you bought a visual last year you paid maybe $12,000. Today if you sell for 6 K consider yourself lucky. I think you have to view it as if yes, you invested $12,000 and maybe $200 worth of feed and labor, but at the end what counts is how many offspring you can sell at a discounted price compared to the value of the initial breeders. It is very difficult to have capital gains in a market so volatile such as that of snake morphs.
