Can you really get 6k for a spook baby?

[Winter Phoenix]

I wander the malls late at night.
Looking for odd bargains.
Checking out the competition.
Seeing what the state of kitteh is at that given moment.

And I see ghost babies being sold for 6k.

Not megas and teacups, but base ghost babies.

If you can get a pair of basic ghosts in the aftermarket for 1k,
and you breed those ghosts and get a special kitten.
Well, it looks like its worth 1k plus a week of kibble expenses.

Unless you're telling me your time is worth 5k
for the five minutes it took you to hatch everybody
and stuff em in the cattery.

Ok. Lets say it is. . .
does anyone actually pay 6k for a new halloween offspring???
Maybe three years from now,
when you cant buy all the components cheap off the shelf.
But today???

I can make you six specials for that price!

Sounds to me like they should be selling for 950,
an incentive price for those who are not into the whole
BREED THE KITTEH thing.

I really wonder about the logic in this secondary marketplace.
Delusional price gouging?
Wishful thinking?

All KittyCatS should be obtainable by anyone,
not only wealthy Saudi oil barons!

Musing over.

What do you think?
