    To buy or not to buy??????

    There is a 09 1.1 pair of lessers for sale about 15 minutes away from me. The guy is hard up for money and will take $550.00 for the pair. The female is 400-500 grams. I know it is a pretty good deal. I could buy them but not sure if i want to tap into the savings for that much. I have been looking for a male lesser but he won't split up the pair. Should i pick them up??? I just don't want to regret not buying them later down the road. What do you guys think.

    Call Suze Orman and ask her if you can afford it... j/k

    If you are nervous about your financial situation then you might be best off passing it up. Later on down the road there will be plenty of other lessers for sale.
    Control is an illusion.

    ^ I totally agree. If it was legit and the animals were good quality I wouldn't pass it up at all (then again prices here are $400-$500 each for Lessers.).. But I am not financially hurting currently.. So ultimately your choice to make.

    Flip em. I mean buy em, see if you can afford them. If not then well you got a steal and you can easily flip them for a profit or sell them at what you bought them for if it makes you feel guilty.

    If they are nice looking lessers I would totally throw caution to the wind and buy them. Sounds like a great deal to me!

    I agree with the flip idea... Someone will want a Lesser sooner or later..

    If they are nice looking it would be worth the risk if quarantined properly(dont want your bargain to kill everything else in your home if they had something wrong with em...) If you only wanted the male.... sale the female for what you paid for the paid for the pair....I would drive 15 miles to find out anyway

    Thanks for the advice everyone. I went and took a look at them and you know how that always works out. I had to pick them up. I know there is a picture thread but I figured I would just post them here so you guys can see.
