Balinese, and the secondary market. Can we *avoid* having a round 2 of this?

This cat took me 232 days to accomplish, when I finally got it, it was worth nothing. This is not the first one either.

I truely hope my current breeding goal isn't gonna turn out the same, if so perhaps those selling their new traits and not breeding forever to get something more might be the wiser?
Think about it. If this is the case then breeding wouldn't be good anymore. This is my last go at it. I hope it works out and I can breed out something & don't see Joe blow birth the cat I've been breeding now for 75 days and gets it fully traited from just dumb luck. I think breeding for the traits should mean more.

Yes, same thing happened to me with Ody Boo Boo. I got lucky and got in on that one early. I kept them and worked on them and when I finally got them 7 traits they were worth nothing. This is why, because of the quick sales with no traits. Everyone has the trait before you can fully trait them out. Took me 4-5-6 generations to get it that way. A long time to be sure. People that take the time to make them traity are being screwed and those looking to make a quick buck and sell sell sell, multiples each week in auctions, stores and what not are helping the problem
