I've never heard anyone attempt to say that pet stores have better stock than breeders do. That one kinda makes me scratch my head because the breeders normally sell to the pet store what is left of their stock after their friends have picked through it. And the idea that you'd ever get a better price for an equivalent animal at a pet store is laughable. Linds is right about the mark up on livestock, now that I think of it it is more like 100%. You have to consider that the stores are a middle man, they have storefront and ill-informed staff to pay for plus he's already paid the breeder's price.
