I've done that more than a few times -one of which was in one of Theo and Draco's auctions where I bought an 8T + 1 (ie a cat showing all 8traits and hiding one more directly from a parent for 9T potential) black russian for 100L$. Nobody else made a bid on it . It was a greatgrandbaby of one of mine and now his daughter is giving me awesome babies too. (Theo & Draco were not auctioning on that particular day -someone else was substituting)
