Kitty Math 101

[Ethereal Hurricane]

That's all well and good, but that would have to mean that for every single cat you got and sold at second gen would have to be the same exact value. That just isn't the case. When you're dealing with things like dominance, recessive, rarity, and many other factors, you can never have it so that the value of any cat MUST be exactly what it costs to create it. If that were the case, no new cat would be worth more than any other cat.

If there are 40,000 Abyssinian Fawns out there, and only 3 Burmese Champagnes, what one do you think would be worth more? That's not even counting recessive or dominance orders. There are just to many factors at play, supply vs. demand, etc, that wont allow for every single box that is created to be worth AT LEAST xxx price. There is also the factor that each box is only worth what someone is willing to pay. Which can favor lesser valued cats to an extent, but usually that isn't the case.

A good way too look at it is, when new furs are discovered, people are willing to pay a pretty hefty premium for them. They usually don't even care if its been confirmed where in the dominance charts the fur may stand (although most breeders should have a decent educated guess on where it might be without the need of a chart). It might take a few months, or only a few weeks, but the prices go down. It took a fairly long time for black and silvers to drop to where they are now, sadly some of the Balinese cats seem to be dropping even faster. But you cannot do anything about that unless you were the lucky person to discover said trait.

I think fire sales are a waste of time as well, and most of the time undesired boxes are sent to the menagerie on the spot. Which means I lost on that cat, the cost of what it took to breed to make it. Which justifies me being able to try and sell the cat I actually wanted to get for that much more.

I wish I could get away with selling every single 2nd or heck, even 3rd box I made for at least 638 lindens, but I know that just isn't the case with the current market.
