When I say exotic genetics I'm talking about exotic strains not a specific company....To each their own. If I were Exotic Genetics, I wouldn't feel right charging that much, no matter how good they were. It would just feel dishonest. Then again, cost doesn't equate to honesty on either end.
Yeah, cost does tend to go up with demand; not always though. Mandala's gear was cheaper once upon a time, for an example.
Bodhi could charge more and still sell seeds. It just seems like a better business model to keep things working class friendly, in terms of prices. These plants only exist because of the hard work of a whole bunch of people, over many, many generations. It seems more humble to do good work and charge a more moderate amount. Just my opinion though...
