That is silly. Every once in a while someone comes along and wants to personally fix prices on some sort of reptile to allegedly protect buyers. But buyers are not babies, they do not need protection if there is sufficient information available which there is. It does not take most buyers very long to sort through prices and see what is the average market price, and then to check out the BOI for a seller's rep for health and quality, which can justifiably add to the price. If an animal is way above market price and there is no reason for the escalated price, likely it won't sell. There is simply zero evidence for leachie market collusion.
