    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I just got in boxed the other day about some high end morphs I have for sale and this person says he's low balling because of the market. I'm not a breeder and am not on any forums but is there truth to this? The guy never called so I figure I should ask others in the community, since their flaky demeanor didn't really reassure me of their claim...
 
Yes & no. Some people will always try to beat you up on prices no matter what your selling. If people can save a buck or two they feel like they got a good deal. Has the market dropped, in my opinion no. But like with anything the more you produce, the cheaper they are. Some morphs have dropped considerably, while others are still strong. Your always gona have a couple people out there that are selling something cheaper then the market value with mostly anything you purchase. For instance look at cars. Just cause you payed so much for something doesnt mean you can sell it for that. There is a few things that do work that way but not much in this day & age.
Dont sell urself or animals out for a few flakey people. Those people wont last in a industry like this. Also at the end of the day everyone has to do what works for them.
Good luck with your animals snow boa lover!!

Hey thanks a lot! Appreciate your response. I don't have them priced as I don't know what is an accurate price for them right now.
 
I think at the high end you should stick to your price.

At the low end... in the last few years I've gotten 1.2 commons, 0.1 arabesque, and 0.1 CA hypo free - all adults - because their prior owners couldn't keep them and would rather give them to a good home than sell them.
