DA I don't think it was terrible bait. I don't entirely agree with their pricing evaluation, but I agree with the base sentiment. Something is only "worth" what others will pay for it. And honestly, eldritch and buttercup go horribly together, with most of the eldritch gene options giving a green tint or green accents. The ones that didn't (well, they did a little but it wasn't as jarring as the others), ripple/current and bar/daub still had a lime green tongue, forcing the use of glimmer to cover it up. And imo, the ice eyes looked jarring against the color combo. So I think the first anon wasn't that far off in asking if your price was way too high. If a triple black range XXY went for 17k gems, I wouldn't expect this dragon to go anywhere near that. As one of the other anons said, I can get gen ones that work for cheap. Why should I pay 15k gems for one where I'm still forced into using certain genes because of the color combination? And still not entirely happy with how it looks?
Obviously people can set a sale price for whatever they want, but if they set it high, higher than others feel it is worth, then they shouldn't be surprised if they don't get a sale.
