Possible purchase! Proven Breeder fire femal

He knew she was worth a lot. He is actually away at college and all of his snakes are scattered among friends. She was loaned to Steve last season to pair with his calico.

I've heard of seller’s remorse before but got to say it's pretty sucky.

Buyers back out of deals all the time. Just this week I had someone hot to buy a snake and I even agreed to discount and then in the middle of talking about shipping options just went to radio silence. Assume he changed his mind or doesn't have the funds but would have been nice to get an e-mail letting me know.

But for some reason I think the sellers should be held to a higher standard. Maybe it's not fair to say they can't change their mind but especially when it's just because they think they can get a better deal it rubs me wrong. Know of a breeder who did that with his first hypos. Found out he underpriced them so told all the lined up buyers they were no longer available and then a little later relisted them for more.

I really haven't followed fire prices and I know any breeder female is considerably more valuable than a hatchling but maybe the breeder will find he can't really get much more out of her after all in the current market (morph saturation and lots of broke people like me, lol).

Breedable fire females aren't hard to sell at $1000+... I've seen a few sell recently, and even picked one up myself. Sounds like he just realized how ridiculously low of a price he agreed to and decided against it. Until money has changed hands nothing is sold... if you come across a crazy deal like that again your best bet is to put a deposit down on it and make sure you've got everything in emails!

That sucks. A deal is a deal and it should be honored. :mad:

So... There is a new revelation!

Apparently Steve bought it from the guy instead. Now, in friends with Steve Tillis on Facebook and saw that he was rehoming most of his ball pythons. He was going to sell them as a package deal and one of the snakes listed was a proven breeder female fire. Of course I become interested in the chance of getting this girl, again.

No one ended up buying the package deal so last night at work I saw that he posted he was going to sell the individual animals! I immediately sent him a message and guess what? IT WAS THE SAME GIRL!
This is the pic he sent me last night wen I asked for one

So guess who is getting this girl next weekend? Me! Super excited.

I might try to see if I could pick her up this Sunday instead lol

Here are the old pics I had of her, for people who don't want to go back and read ;p
