If you hang on to them for a few days it won't matter since Splash M will disappear from the GMT lab soon.

Otherwise, I'm not sure what the rule would be about selling them intact if you need the hbs now and want to sell them right away. I don't see how someone who purchases an intact foal that missed Splash M and GMTs the Splash M back would be doing anything wrong, since it's completely within the rules to GMT missed genes back onto a lined horse even if you didn't breed it. But I don't know if the closed genes come with extra rules which aren't explicitly stated anywhere. My guess would be that doing this would break some sort of rule, because I'd imagine that some of the people who purchased Splash M because they like the idea of a closed gene would find this upsetting.

For those people who are thinking about doing this, I would advise against GMTing Splash M back onto a lined horse if you didn't already put it onto a foundation. If doing that breaks some sort of unwritten rule and the Splash M is removed from the horse, I highly doubt that you'd get your GMT token back. These closed genes kind of remind me of an elite country club; if you want in, you'd better be prepared to spend a lot of money. There are no shortcuts or cheaper ways to get in. Which is why I personally choose to stay away from them and go for genes like w8 instead lol. If I'm going to purchase a more expensive gene, I want to be able to share it with everyone and not just people who also bought the gene. But that's just me personally and I know there are many people who feel otherwise, which is why it's great that both types of genes exist. There's something for everybody here so we can all play the game how we want. I think that's part of what makes HJ so special; there isn't just one "right" way to play the game. :D

If I remember correctly Ammit said any closed gene the game simply wont let you do it so you don't have to worry about it. The game will take care of it if it does have SpM and even if it's not altered I have a feeling the game would not allow them to GMT it on to them.

Oh the game would let you, but it would then take it back off and you would NOT be refunded.
