Blame at 35, but his sire Arch- also broodmare sire of Uncle Mo- is only 30.

Blame is "the new hotness". Established but non-superstar sires never get more than new sires. The difference is that a Blame offspring could sell for anything. An Arch has a pretty predictable price.

Price seems right to me. He retires, not as a sensation but a question mark (in some eyes, not mine) and the market is dull right now. He carries good family, Arch is tail female to Courtly Dee and Liable to Rogh Shod, two of the greatest mares of the latter 20th century.
