    I think a bit of a wobble isn't a problem in itself, but I can understand why it would frustrate you when paired with a slightly shy/nervous disposition in your BP. Our spider has a moderate wobble when she feeds (doesn't prevent her from being an absolute pig) but in general she's an incredibly chilled out snake, who doesn't seem at all stressed by frequent handling. If her wobble was getting worse from interacting with her, I'd probably try to sell her as well as I like to handle my snakes. Everyday does sound pretty frequent though. We usually give ours the day before a feed with no handling, day of the feed no handling and day after no handling, so they're handled about 4 days a week, which many on here would still consider pretty frequent.

It kinda adds to his charm he does this corkscrew like move with his head when he is wrapping around our hands and wrists never fails to fascinate the kids.
    This! Yellow Dude does the corkscrew thing all the time. Every night he comes out for his wanderings and it's just up and over, up and over until he decides his house is still satisfactory and goes back to bed. He has almost no noticeable wobble though.

    If you are selling it because it has a severe wobble then you need to sell it at a low price, because I don't know someone who would breed a spider with a horrible wobble and as you have said, it is so bad that she isn't even worth keeping as a pet. I would suggest that you just give her away, or charge $50 at most.

    This being said in all honesty I have been looking at picking up a spider just because I love the way they look! So if you are looking to give her to a good home let me know. Rest assured she would have one with me )). Plus I only have two BPs currently and I wouldn't mind taking care of her.

    Make sure all of her husbandry is spot on and go from there.
    I was about to say the same thing. If the wobble is that bad that you are selling it, then not many others will pay decent money for it. At least I wouldn't pay that much if it was that bad, especially for breeding.
