I cant beleave all that has changed since i have taken time off of the group. Been looking through the posts and stuff that was stupid expensive is like half cost and things that were hard to find seam like tons are keeping. Has the trade shrank that much over the last few years. Hell i remember tigbabys being 5 to 6 hundred dollars now people are talking 120$.
 
1. I think it's been a natural evolution on prices. First supply lags behind demand, leading to high prices. Then suppliers jump on the hot $$$ wagon and supply catches on or exceeds demand, leading to a price drop.

2. To keep profits high and things rolling, suppliers + importers always look for new fish to hook us onto, pun intended. Fresh things attract attention. People get bored with old and common (sadly). So new fish become suddenly available and if they catch on, they become more and more available, prices come down, and so on.
