Unfortunately these things happen. Price drops happen for 1 reason or another. Sometimes it's market demand, sometimes it's a saturated market, sometimes they fall from peoples interest and sometime people try to flood the market trying to drop the price(s)for spite...

i myself is one of those people who are waiting for prices to be cheaper on some frogs.
See thats not my point...look at my last post....I recently sold escudo pairs $150 more than what sndf now has them for...and easily could have asked for 550... But it feels wrong to have my friends go back and see/ feel like they overpaid all because of urges on sndf to sell theirs fast....or who knows....its not right. Not on this frog. Tell me that rich would be happy if this guy brought in grannies and start offering them up $3-400/pair.? Thatd just be shitting on all his years of hard work and dedication the establishment of these animals... But alas...cristalized said it right...Im happy to know that these guys bought some happy healthy producing frogs from me and not just a stressed out recently picked animal
Well Sidney,
Think about where SNDF is getting their frogs lately ? Could it be that the IMPORTER has something to do with the lower prices ?
Investigate from the Importer on down to see how things have changed...
Also sidney... If a responsible hobbiest bought those escudos for $350, you have to factor in the time for QT, medications, and multiple fecal tests. IMO i would rather spend the extra $ on healthy frogs

Does it rhyme with Sickly?
I paid $350 for my pair of Escudo from Marcus back in 2010. people started selling the offspring from that shipment for $250

I believe the frogs for 350 are already treated and Qt'd.
Sounds like a good and decent price to me! I'd rather pay $350 then $500 a pair.

So if you paid $600 for your pair then youre cool with selling offspring at $100 ea?

And what happened to most ALL of those cheap frogs?
I wish every frog was $5/frog...no matter which one. Then smugglers wouldn't have a job, and I could afford the half a dozen or so species still on my wish list that I want. A guy can dream right...

Jr. can't spell the word quarantine, let alone grasp the concept. Marcus MAY keep some long enough to make sure they are not dropping dead out of the box, MAY...

Theres a handful still around.
There was also Again very little knowledge back then on proper QT and medication for the common hobbiest

I am referring to Marcus Breece.
What happened to all the Azureus? Hmm....all those cheap D. auratus? What about the Almirante that no one is breeding....
Reasonable prices are good.
Notice that those that are complaining have a financial stake in it. It you want high prices on frogs, control the market. If you can't monopolize the species, expect competition.

Right, Marcus does not properly quarantine his pums for sale. period. Only slightly less laughing than at the thought of Jr. properly quarantining.
I PMed you recently about only one small part of proper quarantine. Marcus does not fecal all his frogs, not even one full round.

Easy frogs are easy to keep and breed. Tough frogs are expensive and tough to breed and keep.
It's part of the supply and demand equation. A simple concept.
