Has anyone noticed the extreme price drop in the dnaprint test? I just
went to http://www.ancestrybydna.com/ and got a bit sick to my stomach,
after just pay twice that much just a few weeks ago.

Just some more financial food for thought.

>>>>>>>>> Oh yes........................I have recently paid to have four samples analyzed at the "old" price. Obviously I am not pleased - but Dr. Matt Thomas of AncestrybyDNA told me that after a lot of teeth gnashing at the board room level, they felt they were now ready to opt for volume sales - believing that there will be a lot more potential customers out there willing to shell out less than $160 relative to what I paid (whatever that was - I am having a mental block here......). Thats business - same with DVDs etc - its hard to know when to buy because you can expect that at some point the price will drop significantly - but when? Clearly their price is now very reasonable - I wonder how FTDNA (who also market the same product - using the AncestrybyDNA lab) will react in terms of their pricing.

Yours philosophically,
