Pricing: Food for thought!

[Pancake Littlepaws]

Skimming thought that it has some seriously fatal flaws in this case. The number one fatal flaw being! Supply and Demand! Kitty cats has hit a point now that supply far far outweighs demand. I would even go as far as saying for every 200-300 kitty boxes produced there is 1-2 buyers. I would even go as far as saying that the market has hit rock bottom. In a market like that there is no way to really raise pricing! At this point if Producer X wants to make a profit off or most likely wants to just sell and recoup some cost. They have to lower their prices to offer extra incentive for me the consumer to choose them over the 200-300 other exact same cats! Thus the price drops like a rock!

A great example of this is the confetti cats! They have recently dropped to prices that were unheard of this time last year! The reason people got tired of the gambling and decided to no longer buy into them. There are still a select few breeders that find confetti desireable! But The supply has far far outstripped the damned for them. Thus the price has hit rock bottom! ((took meh over 2 weeks to sell a teacup confetti at 1,250 lindens!)).

I be blunt the main cause of this market collapse is due to people that are for profit! They heard about breedables they heard about horses, fennux, and kittycats. They decided to buy in and try to make a quick profit! Doing so they bought obscene number of cats and bred them for what they thought would be traits that would be worth money! Saturated the market! The same happens to any popular trait toyger for instance! People wanted that fur for a while it was going for 5-6k easily! Lately it can be found for 1-2k cause the market became saturated with the fur because people started producing it like crazy to make as much money as they could.

There no profit really in kittycats the most anyone can hope for is to make enough to feed the cats they keep and want to keep!. Pricing your kitties higher isn’t really going to help the market at all all it will do is bring in more people who will see a chance to make a quick buck by undercutting others!

I just wanted to point this out because its a touchy subject and here pricing a lot! I don’t think people really think about how over saturated the markets really are and how many kitties are up for offer! I mean it be nice to make a profit or even a little kibble money from kitties but its just not possible!

Another thing hurting the sales is the issues as of late with everything from the community to the servers! This has driven people away made others stagnant thus there are even fewer buyers in the market. I really don’t want to get into all that thought cause at the end of the day! The kitties to meh are about the community, my friends, and the kitties themselves! I could careless about making a profit off them if I do great if I don’t great! As long as they continue to count meh as their Goddess and vote Arella thats what matters to meh personally!.
