As long as its generally healthy and decently priced thats all they care about. Have you ever gone and talked to this guy.
Actually yes, I have talked to this guy several times. In person and through email.

I was really excited about having a local store here, until he started with the advertising on craigslist. Which he is not just posting, he is posting many, many times a day after being flagged off of craigslist. Shows blatant disregard for the rules.

Who cares if the average buyer doesn't give a crap about the quality, I give a crap about the quality animals I will be selling. Whether or not it is just the average buyer. It will give the average buyer a healthy animal that won't have problems.

There's nothing wrong with making money, but if you are in it for the quality and health of the animals and not the cheap way to start. Chances are you won't make much profit off of animal sales.
