i agree with you, I've seen some serious mark-ups for these babies (spooks,hells,supers etc) and it drives me nuts. It would seem at those prices that maybe they are not sure if they want to sell them or not. the most I could see paying for one of these kittens, without it being special size, is 900-1k. But that would be down the road after the kittens have stopped being for sale and you are unable to find or trade for the one you are wanting. Price hikes like these hurt the secondary market which then leads to massive "closing" fire sales.
