Looking at the lair id you mentioned, I highly recommend trying to put the g1s up for sale on the forums. Seeing as there's gem gened ones in the lot and they're not bad looking... You won't get gene cost, but you'd likely be able to get above fodder price. Also, try scrying some of them as the breeds you like with new genes. You may be able to give a few a new lease on life.
