Whether or not this works would depend on what the world is like come JW: Dominion, but with things as they left off at the end of Fallen Kingdom, Dinosaurs are big business and there are a lot of big money players trying to get into the action. Those of you older guys like me might remember Dino Park Tycoon (1993). What if JWE2 expanded on the mechanic of selling unwanted dinos by getting to send them to an auction and see if they go for more or less based on market values (i.e. an unmodified parasaurolophus sells for pennies, but a thouroughbred high combat rating Allosaurus goes top dollar). But perhaps most importantly, you can buy dinos off the market instead of having to hatch them all; like DPT, you visit the auction and try to bid on a dino you're interested in.
Pros of buying dinos at the auction
-instant access and usually less expense than hatching them yourself. Stego social requirements are a pain when you can only hatch 2 at a time; so why not buy 6 or 7 together?
-early access to many specimens that your own dig teams and gene labs haven't made available to your hatcheries yet. You might even be able to reverese genetically engineer auction buys to pad your genome %.
Cons in gameplay could be:
-limited availability and variable availability. If you're looking for something specific, there might not be any at the moment and you'll have to come back later or hatch yourself if you need them in a hurry.
-rare/special dinos come with competative bidding: to win, you'll likely be spending more than what it cost to hatch one yourself. But again, this might be your best chance to get one for quite a while, and you may be denying the specimen to a compedator.
-what gene mods dinos at auction come with is a mystery. Most come unmodified and fall anywhere in the 50-100% genome. But while some come with boons like longer life or higher desease resistance, you might end up with some with dangerous unreported mods like stricter social requirements or lower comfort tolerances (like the "queer giraffes" scene from Gladiator, but its short-fused Brachiosaurs who hate trees and can't stand the expertly crafted Brachi paddock you had ready for them).
