Kitty pricing!

[Seiichi Niosaki]

I remember putting down 4K for a foxie salt and pepper offspring! It was madness as 2 weeks later, it was half price. And now in 2016 its everywhere, I even find them on the menagerie tables. I did feel the sting.

We have to remember that these new trait cats aren't one-off, they replicate, not only that, they also pop up in someone else's cattery. The bigger the market, the higher chance of more newer trait cats appearing shortly after another. We also have to remember that the secondary market is a free market, aka buyers' market. Prices will depreciate and hover around what is acceptable to the buyer. I know it sounds harsh, but when you look at the big picture, trying to sell a pixel cat for 30-40 grand is a bit of an insult to the numerous SL creators who work hard for weeks creating original content for a lot less.

There will always be someone selling cheaper cats, but before we start huffing, the buyers of cheap cats whom may have gotten addicted to breeding, may one day be your customer too.
