Hi Script
I have a question too.
There are traits which are almost not findable on the market anymore, but are not per se new, perhaps due to the fact there were not much breeders who bred the trait when it was released and becomes in demand after the matter.
Does your calculator also take rare traits in consideration and not only new traits?
For a long time for example we rarely saw a Red Tabby anymore while the market was saturated with them for long.
They were not much in favor and as such not bred as often while today some people love to breed the Red Tabby which is retired long ago from the currently available starters.
I've noticed for example some breeders forgot about the Ody Slush eye or never heard from it or see it on the markets this trait was optionally possible to breed from the Love Bees and Bugs exclusively.
Does this increase in your system the price of, in this example, of the Ody Slush eyes?
I also remember the return of the retired Moo kitty (Chateau Black & White No. 1) for long it was under valued and we frequently saw them lonely and forgotten on the local love shack after which they magically disappeared and made a huge come back.
The return of the Moo Kitty was a 9T with Apple eyes and I have seen them go for 5k and up on auctions.
This was completely unthinkable in the beginning.
In general it seems difficult to me to price a kitty based on it's visable traits especially because some trait combinations in one kitty may be more valuable than each trait on it's own and the hidden traits may increase the kitty's value too.
And the "pretty" value may add up to a kitty as well.
I remember I believe it was my friend Anna bred back in the days a 9T Black Russian with perfect Gerbera Orange Eyes and a Porcelain shade they went for much money because many found the kitty so pretty.
That while each trait on it's own may not have been so valuable to people as the complete cat was.
I for example love to obtain desired furs and other traits pure and if a breeder bred the kitty with care why the desired trait is pure it is worth more to me than when an ultra recessive is hidden which is not the desired trait and makes it harder to breed the desired trait in our projects because the hidden may pass why the cat becomes tidious to work with.
So while cats may look the same they can make a world of difference to work with.
I am curious as to how your system values those different elements?
