Reptile Pricing Comission

[Classic]

Just a Sunday Morning thought. I've noticed some grumbling in the past while with regards to reptile prices; especially higher-end/morph animals.
I was thinking a discussion would be benificial to throw out some ideas.
Do you think a national "Suggested Price" could be a solution?

My thoughts were this: A stand alone alone web site or an addition to one of our great community forms with suggested prices for particular animals.

This would/may have to be an unbiased and average suggested price that is determined by average prices of a set number of breeders that are known.

For example and only for ease of explaination, i will use Mexican Milksnake.

As far as i know, there are a few people breeding Mexican milks in Canada, possibly 6-10 or maybe more. In this situation, all breeders would submit there suggested price and the average would be posted as the suggested asking price.

This is just a suggested price, not the set price. Everyone has the right to charge as they wish. I feel that people would conform to this especially if its to their benifit.

To keep this thread from being one big arguement, please only post your positive opinions for the time being. If you think its a good idea, vote on the thread and keep your "Hey , that's a great idea" comments out of this one.

After awhile, we can move over to the negetive comments, but negetive comments are unproductive this early in this discussion. Please keep your "this will never work" comments to yourself for now.

Ideas we should explore are endless but with everyone's constructive input, we could all benefit from this.
