The world keeps giving me signs to add to my collection!

Over here in the UK an albino female BP goes for around £400 and a bumblebee male would go for around the same if not a little bit more (we'll estimate another £400). An albino female is on my wishlist as I have a het albino boy (which some of you may already know) and I have my pastel female, and a spider boy on his way.

A local guy is looking to get out of the hobby and is selling his CB13 albino female, CB13 bumblebee male and CB13 100% genetic stripe female for £350, an extra £40 to come with rubs. Having such an internal battle! He has lowered his prices, originally they were selling for £550!

I have no idea how much that is in US dollars. Is it alot?

[Naom9Anne]

I always google it

£350 = $556.29 for a female albino, male bumblebee and 100% het genetic stripe.
He was originally selling for £550 = $874.17 and the albino and bumblebee are worth at least £800 alone = $1271.52

BP's cost a heck of a lot more over here!

If you get one, don't pay the extra 40 for the rubs. You don't need to, girl!

All three have to be sold together, I was interested in the bumblebee and albino. Problem is I don't have spare rubs and for me to buy rubs, heat mats and stats (which he is selling) it would cost me £114.00 ($181.16)

Everything looks so much more expensive in dollars

3 x rub at £8 = £24
3 x heat mat at £10 = £30
3 x stat at £20 = £60 (rough estimates)

Going to try to bump the price down to BP's and rubs for £350 ($556.29) and visit my bank for an overdraft (?)

Man wish I had the money for them lol. Ive always calculated $2=£1. That way I always had the money for what I wanted. Its interesting finding out prices for your pets from another country. Yes I was stationed in England.

I am currently negotiating with my nan to let me lend the money from my savings (which she controls so I don't spend it all when I'm at university) on the basis I pay it back. I look at prices of BP's in the states and wish I lived there just for the hobby! I worked out that my pastel was $280 but should have been $400 full price when converted into dollars and you guys can get pastels for around the $100!

Jealous Brit right here!

Sounds reasonable. I am getting a male bumble bee, male albino, and normal female het albino for $500 shipped...plus $350 for male lesser het ghost and butter female. 500 USD=371.96 Euro...looks like you're beating me by a touch (lol).

Nice package price there - just be careful because sometimes good deals are too good to be true. You also want to make sure you can keep the new animals away from your existing collection for a few months in quarantine to make sure they are healthy etc.


What are rubs?!

[Naom9Anne]

RUB = Really Useful Box i.e. plastic tubs

The guy wants to get out of the hobby which is understandable but I will be keeping the new additions away from my others. I am staging quarantines in my very small flat as much as is possible. I have my male spider coming tomorrow night and if I get these three it will take my collection to 6 (dealable yeah?) I just can't help myself! Needed an albino for my het boy and both the spider and bumblebee will eventually go nicely with my pastel. The het genetic stripe may have to wait a year or so for her boyfriend though!
