RE: About Kittycats and their prices.
I agree, mostly.
Personally, I don't think fire sale SPAM has the negative impact which many claim. Cat spam is like car ads on TV, and fire sales are like the slime-ball used-car dealerships with their fast cuts, loud color and noise, and bad editing. It doesn't matter how many of those ads you see, the price of a new Ford F-150 isn't gonna change appreciably.
Granted, a better analogy on PRICES is gasoline when the discount station across the street lowers it price, the premium station follows suit. But the price won't stay low long because the station across the street is going to run out of product. This premium station knows this, which is why, unless they have a low-price guarantee, they won't come down quite as much. They'll just wait it out and prices will return to normal, or close enough.
To me, the biggest impact in the PERCEPTION of he state of the market is unreal expectations. You wander around and see a trait going for, say, 70K. But that's not the "worth" of the cat! It's what people are asking .. it doesn't mean it's what they're getting. So you see the prices coming down and think the market is falling. It's NOT. All that is changing is the asking price is moving down to the point where it meets the amount purchasers will accept.
