An interesting comment in the latest edition of the British Livebearer Association Guppy Section Newsletter:'Prices this year fell well short of the normal value for top quality Guppies - the highest lot only reaching £17.00 a pair. Most were sold near or on the minimum bid of £3.00 . It is surprising that in times when the BLA-GS membership is growing rapidly, during the last three shows we have seen price values plummet. Is it that we are now exchanging fish or internet selling, that the new breeders can acquire these strains more easily? If so objective achieved.'
As regular readers will know, I am a devotee of the livebearer auctions, and whenever possible go to them with Max and/or David. I had actually thought exactyly the same thing, and it is nice to have my hunch confirmed. However, it is even more gratifying to find those who organise such things actually pleased with falling prices. These folk are obviously in it for the same reason as we are, rather than being capitalist bread-heads. Right on, brother!
