RE: Web Market sortable by price!
I find the "sort by price" to be an extremely useful feature, and I thank you for implementing this, Rene. As a frequent buyer of so-called "cheap cats" I am aware that I am not always getting the same level of traits and purity going back multiple generations that I could potentially get if I spent more money, although there are times when the bargains that I find can be surprising. That's part of the thrill of the hunt of searching for a cat that will fit the need of the moment, which is not always the need for the purest-traited cat. Very pure and predictable cats do have their place. However, not all cats should be cookie-cutter clones going back multiple generations with totally consistent traits, either. Sometimes it's fun to take a chance on what you are going to get. A few of us can make enough lindens selling cats to cover the costs associated with breeding but most of us are doing this primarily for fun and not really expecting (after the first couple of months, at least) that we will earn back what we are spending. There's nothing wrong with bargain hunting and nobody is being coerced on how to price their cats. Cat prices have definitely gone down in the year and a half that I've been doing this, but that was happening long before prices could be listed on profilers. I have found that it is not cost-effective to maintain a shop for that reason, but I do patronize love tables and the shops of others, looking for the "niche cat" that I want for a particular purpose, and many times I would not have found the shop, much less the cat, without a profiler link taking me to it.
