Veet I want to respond to what you said. As I can relate to this.
I love KittyCats. I love KittyCats quite a lot. My favorite size is megapuss. And I adore the collection cats. I love the collection megas, especially with their cute little colored tongues.
I am one of the people who are not into making money off of cats. In fact, I never sell cats. I love the cats, for the cat. When I hear someone ask "is this a good cat", i even become slightly upset, because to me, they are all good. They are all awesome. My cats in world, mean a lot to me.
With that said, I am also disabled IRL. I am in severe pain 24/7. There are days my pain level is so high, I can't even get out of bed. I can't even breathe due to the pain. Obviously, I cannot work IRL. I am forgetful. I am depressed. And honestly, I am simply quite sad.
Life is hard IRL. One needs money in order to live. One needs money to be free, and enjoy life. And yet, for me, that is quite limited.
Second Life is no different. In my opinion, cats go for way too much. I get it. Many people are into KittyCats for the money aspect. I go around and see cats that I would LOVE to have. That having them, would mean the world to me. After all, I am so limited IRL. And yet, they are priced between 15,000L - 30,1000L. That is at minimum 60 real life dollars. Money I do not have IRL. Money I cannot really afford to put into a virtual world, for a virtual product. No matter how much I love it.
I cannot even begin to express, how upsetting it is, to hear people shout "that shouldn't go for any less then 30 thousand linden!" AKA, people like me, should never have a chance of owning the object. 30,000L which I see a lot of LE megapuss go for, is approximately 120 real life dollars.
Where I understand, it's a market mainly for making money, and not for the enjoyment of this great product, these amazing cats. I for one, seriously appreciate those who do price them for less, to give people like me a chance of owning one. Yeah, I know many will think "well if you can't afford it, then you shouldn't have one". Ok, that's fair I suppose? But I can tell you, it hurts like you wouldn't believe.

Maybe I should have looked at the audience before setting the start?
But also for the reason that even if there are some none resellers in the audience I don't know what kind of money they have to purchase a Kitty or what they are willing to pay and there just might be that reseller that has more L$ than the non reseller I was hoping to grab a deal for them selves or even if their are non- resellers there they may not want that kitty also or maybe already paid the way higher price else where. Or also if it will get higher as well. Which is a norm thought
