Reptile Pricing, selling, and the market

[Adam_Wysocki]

Yet, you have clearly stated below that anyone who does not buy at a set price is in the wrong, hurting the market, idiots and flat out crooks. Did I read this wrong?

Yes, you read that completely wrong. I said that "breeders" that are selling investment animals and taking hard earned money from their customers and behind the scenes are looking for "deals" are crooks. If you're charing reasonable prices and paying reasonbale prices, fine ... or, if your snatching up deals and selling at "deal prices" fine (I don't agree with it, but it doesn't make you a crook) ... but in my opinion if you're talking about selling animals at market or above market prices due to their quality and then in the same thread talk about having an eye out for "bottom dollar" deals you're doing your customers dirty.

My opinions have nothing to do with "set prices" and EVERYTHING to do with how people conduct themselves in this business.

Not at all, I think it is wonderful that you take such passion and congratulated you numerous times for this. But, I will not be cornered into paying higher prices or who I buy from. I understand you are protecting your investment and your customers, but ridiculing others who do not line up....

Who have I "ridiculed"? Where have I mentioned a single name? Sounds like you're taking this wayyyy tooo personal.

Never said it did, on the other hand you clearly stated that anyone buying low and looking for a bargain is an idiot, wrong and even crooks...why?

You obviously did not comprehend what I wrote.

all because they saved a buck?

Saving a buck and then "juicing" your customers and future customers is wrong in my opinion .... but hey, that's just me. If you want to buy cheap then fine ... but don't jump on every cheap deal that comes around and then sell at or above market prices ... that's just rotten.

This is it for me, you guys can take this a part as you wish and continue the fight.

Why does it have to be a fight? I was giving my opinions on the market ... MY VIEWS ... it had nothing to do with you ... why the need to make it about YOU?

This is my final post on this subject.

Well, I'm glad that we got that worked out.
