When i started breeding Kittycats a long time ago..it was because i enjoyed it. I never thought about selling them at first because truthfully i liked them to much to sell them lol.
Then it became a hobby..so like any hobby i made a budget, much like my xbox gaming hobby or my care bear collecting i set a budget an stuck to it.
I don't breed new furs unless i like them. I love creating kittys that appeal to me. I have a skybox on ma land and i set some boxes out there to sell. I don't lower prices, i figure in the cost and the time and work it took me to make the kitty, if it sells, its sells, if it don't then i keep it and enjoy it myself.
I myself dont buy dirt cheap kittys..on the same hand i wont pay 50,000 lindens for a new recessive fur kitty with crap traits. I dont feel the rush to grab new furs or traits, i prefer to buy from breeders who took the time to make a beautifully traited cat, breeders who put time and effort into making wonderful cats, instead just pumping out a fur or a eye, or a new tail..jes my two cents
