2 questions:

With their be complimentary snacks and refreshments?

Will i get to take the FR-S for a test drive?

Of course, and can you drive stick?

I understand your frustration! Before I settled on a buyer for my spider girl, I went through several potential buyers. Trust your intuition. If it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. Just hold off for the right buyer...they will come. You just have to have the patience to wait for them.

Serenity now...serenity now...

Bro, I l know how ya feel. I thankfully work at a pet store, and we usually sell our babies to customers who know our quality and effort. However, I have had some****** when I tried to sell a few through CL. its seems like 70% of the CL people who respond to your ad either: 1. are flat out d-bags, 2. Ask you a million questions about the animal(s) and want a million pictures but never want to buy it, 3. Seem interested, agree on your price, and finally commit to purchasing but...seem to "disappear" when its time to set up a date and time to meet and do the exchange. I do like using CL to sell stuff, but sometimes people make you wanna

Please don't take offense to this as I'm only stating how I feel from what you vented on this forum.

You gotta breath man, first I think like others stated here you don't know all about the business and I think this is stressing you out. I think a lot of good advice was given to help you, but I also think you are doing a lot of great stuff to.

As far as getting low balled, reselling ect... It's part of any small business where prices arent really set in stone. ( I never low ball but I do try to get some what of a better deal if possible). I'm 26 and if you think lowballing is bad in snakes try hearing your dad talk about people coming in and trying to do that on cars for 22 years of your life. ( He owns 3 car lots).
Anyways I think you just need to remember that at one point this was your hobby before a business. tbh I think you need to hold back on some BPs and not get stressed from this and worry about business later and just sell to sell.

Thanks for the reply. I don't breed as a business, strictly hobby. I would fail miserably as a business.

Nope. What did you have, anyway? Pastels? Normals? Maybe I could help you out....I always have customers lookin for quality BPs.

Have a mix of Lessers, Spiders, Cinny's, a Yellowbelly, one normal, a Lesserbee, a Lesser Yellowbelly, a Spider Yellowbelly (I think) and a few others I haven't figured out yet. All from Lesserbee x Cinny and Lesserbee x Yellowbelly pairings. Last one is still sitting in the egg as I type. Hopefully he'll be out by morning.
