    Price drops

    $180 shipped for Spider males or $345 shipped for 2 males on Fauna? Come on. I get that people need to sell their animals but how low do you want to drop them? I won't drop names but I am sure you can figure it out.

    I paid 150 for my male spider. at a show. but still. I plan to sell my spiders for 150-200 each, 225 for females. Its mainly due to the amount of them being produced now. just like why pastels used to be 2500 dollars, and are now found for 200 or lower. same with pinstripes. they used to fetch a large lil penny.
    1.0 09 spider 0.1 08 pinstripe 0.1 adult female normal.

    Re: Price drops

    That is absolutely ridiculous! Especially right after Daytona that generally showed a steadying of prices!

    Just like always I would be VERY careful any time you are buying an animal for an advertised price well below retail prices. Why are they selling so cheap? Whats the hurry? Whats wrong with the animal? Whats wrong with the breeder? These are all questions that I would be asking.

    No, I don't believe it is the economy or too many people breeding. If that were true then the Daytona prices would have been lower. It is about people trying to dump animals for one reason or another.

    The difference is, pretty much everyone else is selling them between 200 and 300. Maybe I'm just of the opinion that the price doesn't need to be that low. It goes right along with using the word cheap in ads. The economy and supply and demand does enough to devalue these animals. The breeders don't need to help.

    excellent point Mike!

    perhaps these animals are flawed in some way? or are problem feeders? or if they're spiders perhaps they spin?

    I didn't tell him what to do. It doesn't mean I have to respect it or agree with it.
