Actually I once added up what Ralph Davis had for one year and current asking prices he had at the time. And if he sold everything he had that year he would have cleared around 300k. Not bad for a hobby if I might say so. Then you get some breeders who bottom out the market by slashing prices "Crazy Eddie" style. Then you get a big fight in Daytona over that between some of those "big breeders".. Kind of childish in my opinion. I don't get all bent out of shape if another consulting firm wins a contract with a big utility by bidding a lower price. Just part of doing business, acknowledge and move on.....
