    Do you often sit on normals you can't sell?

    For those of you who breed, do you often have "normals" that you can't sell? Just curious what you end up doing, just keep lowering the prices?

    Thanks,
    Curious

    Re: Do you often sit on normals you can't sell?

    when your prices start at 10 dollars, you really can't go much lower. but Craigslist hasn't failed me yet, people sell normals for 100+ on there and then you sell it for 10, moves them fast.

    I sell Normals to pets stores local to me for 35.00 each.. I sell them in lots of 10. I've even had an eight year old come over with his mom and dad and his birth day money to buy a normal.. To me Normals are the easiest thing to sell cause they are affordable and there's always someone wanting their first Pet PB.

    Re: Do you often sit on normals you can't sell?

    I am selling my normal babies to a local pet store that I know takes good care of their animals for 25 a piece. Don't just sell them to anyone though, and start giving them away because you can't/don't want to house them anymore.

    i sold my last to the local pet land, but it is a very nice one with good mgmt. I get $25 each in store credit, which i use anyway, so it is win win for everybody. I am in Chicago, so there is a big market here, works out well.

    Re: Do you often sit on normals you can't sell?

    I'm pretty good friends with a reptile store owner so he gets them first for either $20 cash or if I need something from him, then $25 store credit. I have another store that will probably be my new live rat/mouse supplier for my one live feeder (my friend closed his shop that was close to me) that has inquired about getting normals from me as well so with two stores I shouldn't have a problem. If I do, then I'll just bring the remaining to a local expo with the morphs.

    you could give them away to people who are interested, sparking there addiction for ball pythons, causing them to come back with money they saved for an expesive one

    They all sell eventually. I've still got some normal females from last year that I know will go eventually. I wouldn't go giving them away unless it's to someone you know well. Strangely I've run into a situation a few times where an animal I've given to someone doesn't get the care it deserves because it was free so they didn't place much value on it. I don't know why, but it seems that people often take better care of things they've paid for.

    Pffft I wouldn't mind getting a free normal any offers lol

    But no I would never give them away to just a random person you wouldn't want them not to be taken care of or worse the animal being released!!!
