in the royal morph scene a few years ago when i was on the royal buzz i was looking into morphs and the price drop is unreal i was looking at stuff that was around the £5000 mark now i see them for under a grand Shocked

im glad i didnt invest back then im glad there falling because the sooner they get cheaper the sooner i will start purchasing i can see an albino on the cards this season Wink

i only want good morphs though not ones that look great young but start to look like a normal as they become adult Laughing

No attitude and not being snappy mate Very Happy

Your return on investment of £5000 a few years ago would of been doubled if not tripled by now. How many of those animals now only worth under a grand you think would of sold this year?

Its all relative, The first Pieds on the market were $25,000USD, don't you think that investment was paid back and then some by now Rolling Eyes

I agree Marc, I think it is relative, and the way the market seems to be structured there is something for everyone both in tastes and price range. I think with the investment part it's kind of like gambling, and you should only invest what you could afford to loose if it all went horribly wrong, but by the same token, "who dares wins" could also be said to be true. There is definately a place for everyone and every variation of royal, so it all evens out. I would imagine that even the BIG breeders still have armies of normals, and no doubt there are still morphs that they drool over just like the rest of us Wink
