I'm not a bit surprised. Most people seem to be most familiar with the
'standard' brown sable markings. If a store gets in a mitt, an albino, a
blaze, cinnamon, etc, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they try to market
them as 'fancy.' I bet you can add $30 to the sticker price with that one
world and most people will shell out the bucks for the 'fancy' version. A
similar tactic was employed by the evil pet store in my area. Ever since I
have been around this area (5 years) ferrets have sold for $99.99. One day
I was walking by (it's in a mall and kind of hard to miss) and they had a
new sign up.
FERRETS! REGULAR PRICE: 149.99 **SALE TODAY!!!** $99.99.
Hmmmmm. Don't seem legal to me!
