I don't usually post here in the forum but after the past week or so I feel the need to say something about what I've seen this last week.
I was at an auction a few days ago and someone said something about the opening price of my kitty. This was an Ody Bellini Eyed female ...regardless I did not say anything to this person someone else did. I was glad she jumped in and said how recessive the eye is and how lucky she was to have gotten the kitty for 250L (she claimed) and that she must have gotten it from someone who didn't know what they actually had and she was right.
Breeders spend a lot of time on their kitties and excuse me but that kitty did cost me more than 150L's to breed.
Then today I get an IM from someone who I won't name - to tell me that my prices are to high ~ at the end they say to me ...good luck ~ ?
I breed KC because I enjoy it and it is a fun thing in Second Life to do. I enjoy the auctions because they are part of the KC community as a whole. I certainly don't want someone sending an Alt to IM me about my prices being to high in my shop. Anyone else getting this sort of treatment from new breeders or alts? I don't breed kittyCats to sell them ~ lol I don't think that is why any "real" breeder is breeding KC or any other breedable for that matter ~
Anyway...just wanted to let everyone know what is happening and my opinion about the prices on KC ....some of us take a lot of time, patience and yes, love of KC to breed what we do into them. I, for one would rather send my kitty to menagerie and help save the community then to sell some newb my kitty for 150L ~ I will continue to do just what I'm doing because I love it and that includes NOT LOWERING my already low prices on my kitties........thanks for reading

Yes I have had the same experience someone came in about my fancie diamond eyes kittys and told me they had gotten then for more then half that price,but really once you think about that if they really have then they wouldn't be bugging you about lowering the prices they would already have it in their cattery.
I however do the opposite i let deals go and tell people when I think they could get more money for a trait or fur. and your right it takes a lot of time and lindens into making a kitty and I will drop prices when I need kibble like we all do,but your kittys are awesome,you worked hard at making them and you have the right to price them as does everyone else.
I know a lot have to feel the same way I do when you buy a trait for a high price then by the time you trait up the kitty to sell its in shops all over less then half of what you paid for it. Make your own prices and don't let anyone tell you different ; )
Prices ~ Alts ~ and ??
