sorry mate, but if with that price i doubt you will ever win against UK (and Germany). It is understandable that they have a high price, but as America is such a rich country this shouldn't matter. Firstly it's wrong to attack personally, Evan has got rights to sell whatever he wants at whatever price he wants. In America, 15$ for phyllocrania is probably cheap. You have to consider the demand and how many are in the country, here in the UK we have a lot of phyllocrania so therefore it is generally cheaper. Mantis trades has just been popular in the last few years, but if we reverse the situation the prices of our reptiles are ridiculously high, as the reptile trade is so muhc more developed in America than in UK.
My point is, it is up to evans to sell them at whatever price he wants. If he sells too high, then it is his problem as no one will buy it. I recommend to Nikko that he should not be too bothered about other people's business, and also most importantly, you should not attack someone's personal background, as this could be taken into some form of prejudice or racism.
Here's my point of view, and to eros, you are one ambitious little boy :-)...oh well try as you may, maybe you could start getting the rare desert mantis and break through the mantis trade with those. Now there's an idea
