Is the term "BD" that important ? ....

[exotic_idiot]

Yup learn something new today...

Better to buy what u see what u like instead of the branding names and stuffs.

[nutx]

soon...will be like aro....

HB, XB, dunno what aro except red...also call XB....

but the different here is that BD, when small...is already very distinguish....
(To differentiate BD, BD Leo and P13, maybe is difficult to id, or even not possible as they are same P13 (as long as based on current scientific naming.......they are only different in pattern or how dense (no of) the dots).


but the main concern is those Sp (BDhenlei is still a Sp!)

Only some marketer trying to confuse the market and start creating new "Features" for BD!

This topics has been discussed for so many times in so many threads. (But some thread has been misled by marketer!)
Buyer choose to listen to "sweet" talk...no one can assist.

There is no way a skinny loooooong tail ray is consider a P13, BDleo or low grade BD.

I had a buyer, came to me show me a pic of a type of sp he wanted asked me hv bo. I showed him wat i have and of better quality. He asked me wat breed, as I dont like to brand my ray, I just said is sp same as urs. his replied shocked me, he said his pc PDR sp and mine is only sp. he dont like. Then I told him mine father is BD.... he kept quiet.

Many pple when buying rays even though is hybrid, they will still ask wat breed. Honestly, there is no breed for them..... But still we hv to tell them father is P13 mother is wat wat wat..... I think to them wat brand is really v impt.

As such, not to mislead pple, I agree that BD the term shld not be abused

Summary of the situation..

Buyers want buy branded ray.
Unscrupulous sellers will say anything to sell ray.

Fr my experience,

Newbie: They buy rays based on branding regardless of quality.

Old Bird : They buy rays based on quality and also branding.

In SG, conclusion, all buy rays based on branding . Basically this is in us all along, we had been taught abt the impt of branding and this is wat the whole world is doing. But personally I dont think it is appropriate for rays. Quality shld comes first.

[ap99]

Why put an over abused name.... that's why I put p13 no point using bd as a banch mark...

so best is to post accordingly as below?

henlei P12

PDR,BDLEO N BD P13

Galaxy P14

All Hybrids just put as SPs?

or maybe according to parentage say if p12 cross p13 put as P12 X P13?
