It's win-win, you get healthy C.B. babies to sell, and they will have a better outlet to sell their babies to someone who will hopefully care for them than just putting them up on KS or Fauna.
And the leos are easy to breed. I had never kept geckos, I bought two 40 gal breeders on a stand from a guy on craigslist, he had the three leos in one of them and didn't want them any more, so I took them and figured I'd find someone who was into geckos and give them to them. Well, they are really cute. And now I have three very healthy leos, and eggs and baby geckos everywhere. It is by far the most minimal effort breeding project I have ever undertaken.
yea, i really hope i get to that point some day and im super excited to get my leos too!
