    Re: What the Heck is Market Price?

    Setting a competitive price has been difficult since there's so little to compare too. I haven't seen any other Pied het Clowns out there this year. I've lowered prices about 15% from what I thought was a low market price, and have included free shipping.

    You make some very good points about words. I should have Pied and Piebald in the title I think, and I always use tags if I can. Craigslist is something I hadn't thought of. It may be a long shot, but it's free, so why not? Thanks for all your good suggestions.
    Congrats on the first phone inquiry! Good luck with that! And glad I could offer some help.

    One thing too... don't be afraid to say "OBO" or "OBRO". You might get some low-ball offers, but you can always refuse those. But including that in the ad, you might get some people more willing to try you out if they know they might be able to haggle a little. I personally am not a big hagglers when it comes to animals (I can and do haggle for inanimate objects though!), but I know other people may be.

    One nice thing about craigslist too... when you use the search function for your immediate area, it will also search ads just outside your immediate area. I'm in the Inland Empire, but when I start searching for things, I'll also get hits for Los Angeles or San Diego. That's nice for people who are willing to travel (and let's be real, a lot of So Cal residents aren't afraid to drive a little bit for something they want, since our world seems to be centered around that!), and gets you a little bit more potential business/views.
    Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
