Lolz yay!
The price dictators are back I really started to miss them ...
The people who are trying to dictate the prices other people ask and feel personally responsable to "save" the market by lecturing individuals do not only not "save" the market but ruin the atmosphere as well.
Ignore those people is the best solution I think
But in all earnesty I think everyone should just ask the price they want for a kitty and have the starting bid they aim for their cat on auctions.
An open bid is no critical thing at all the seller needs to be prepared to take the risk the kitty goes for a low price but I have seen cats with an open bid go for an amount with plenty of zero's so the opening bid doesn't say anything about the quality of a cat either.
It is totally up to the seller what they want to do with their breeds.
