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

After all they need the markets to be able to show new people what possible furs and traits there are and they have every so often sent a notecard in the group with landmarks to secondary markets.
This gives me the feeling they want these markets to be known and seen.

I am sure you've got the point there, Kay.

No one said they didnt want the markets to be seen.

Its not so much about the markets themselves, as businesses we are referring too,...but "market prices" including trends in what is and isn't selling, and knowing what is going on with breeders who are selling the cats.

For example, as Ethereal suggested, a small amount of research on these very forums will show that the price of Lynx has dropped so dramatically, therefore releasing another more recessive lynx would obviously damage sales more. That is the point.

Offering landmarks to these places is showing support yes, but it does nothing when you are talking about market research, and thinking about what should and shouldn't be released and in what recessive order.
