Now in her second appearance, Mum is much more reasonably priced.

I don't see this behavior changing; code girls being introduced at exorbitant prices to get the guaranteed sales from the whale collectors, then reappearing later at a more reasonable pricetag. Amusingly, Agave did the same thing, but in reverse: she debuted at 2500NG (and included 25 FGs), then made a later appearance for 5000NG.

Aconite, I would probably give blood for, but only if she could be rarity grown. not before. The rest no way.

At one point I had interest in Nightmaher but no longer at any kind of premium.
Did you see what they did with Camellia?
