You both know whats going on most of the time, and you just gotta hit that sweet spot within around 3 offers, after that the seller tends to get annoyed.
    And Grade A animals will move without dropping the price. Why? Because Grade A animals are much harder to find than lower grades. There are a lot of buyers like myself that are always on the hunt for the most extraordinary example of a mutation that they can find.

    Like this one from John:



    I guess where I would be annoyed is if someone were to come to me and say "well, Bobby Joe is selling his XYZ for this amount - I want to buy your animal, but want to pay Bobby Joe's price". Um...no - if you liked Bobby Joe's prices so much, why didn't you buy from Bobby Joe? Was it because you didn't like the quality of the animal you'd get from Bobby Joe at that price?
