    Quick question about low-ballers...

    Got an email from an old ad we posted a while back. Now real quick, tell me what yall think fair market value is on these two balls assuming they are of average to slightly above average quality and healthy as can be. What would you offer for them?

    450g cinnamon male
    400g spider female

    Now that you've made an offer, check out what this guy offered us. I think my prices are fair.

    Cinny: My asking price $120. His offer: I might give you $50. I usually sell mine for $50 at most.

    Spider: My asking price $300. His offer: $200 at most. They do not go anywhere near $300 anymore.

    he sells his cinnies for $50 at most? Then why does he want yours?
    $200 for a spider hatchling, yours is 400g

    I would stand firm on your prices, they are more than resonable.

    The female will gain value over the next year with every feeding. If anything, raise the price weekly.

    The male is priced fairly, though you might entertain an offer of $10 or $20 off if someone offered it. $50 for a cinny is ridiculous, plenty of people "re-home" normals on craigslist for that.

    The price offer for the cinny is absurd. Like mainbutter said, normals can go for that price or higher.

    Your prices are more than fair, IMO the person responded rudely, probably not someone you would want to deal with anyways.

    I would stick to your prices. Quite frankly he probably is talking out of his a** on his I sell mine for no more then 50 crap. There is a big difference that people need to figure out between a fair negotiated price, and someone just trying to practically get the animals for free.

    I did a little research on this guy, Randall Gilkerson. Guess he has made quite the name for himself scamming people. There are lots of posts on him on here and Fauna, etc.

    This guy is a freakin' loon!
