Kitty pricing!

RE: Kitty pricing!
I'm a casual breeder of kittycats since 2012 (on older alts) and also sold cats for a brief 3 months, in all those years I've only attended 2-3 auctions but I've bought a lot of cats from different breeders through their stores.

My feel on auctions and why I don't go:
1. I've been mass-spammed TP to go to a particular auction, they even spam during mid-auctions which makes me disable group notice or block the person.
2. I don't chase after the latest traits, not all latest traits are desirable (to me at least)
3. I've no time. I rather buy at my own convenience.

When I buy cats:
I look at the traits and hiddens and if its something I want. If there are several cats that have the traits that I want to add to my line, I will buy the best cat that offers me good value and saves me time on back-breeding and that's not necessarily the cheapest cat. I shop using profilers but I also walk around kittycats markets because not all sellers use profilers. I've been to fire sales but I never find anything that I want there despite full 9T cats on offer.

I don't think sellers should worry about fully traited cats selling at 100L, they are that price because the market is saturated with plenty of similar cats. I don't think the fixed price per trait works anymore either, because the number of kittycat traits has grown exponentially over the years. If you really want to have some measurement in pricing a cat to sell, then it should be line-bred vs random-bred or experiments. And that's pretty easy to tell when one looks at the pedigree. And new (serious) breeders should be educated, when buying line-bred cats or experiments, so they can make a sound purchase.

my conclusion:
Its hard to make a profit from breedables, unless you are super lucky to discover a new trait and someone wants to pay you lots for it. I think before you even talk about pricing, you should survey the amount of similar cats out there that are not sold. Clearly, supply outstrips demand. And since Kittycats now allow us to menagerie kitties to buy kibbles and accessories in-world, that's what I'm gonna do with my boxes.
