Third Reich of Poultryland
Well I occasionally list my eggs on another forum, but was banned for quoting another seller IN HER OWN WORDS bragging about how she get twice as much as John B for her birds. She is not even an Am breeder, only got into the lavenders after seeing a few of us have good auctions last year.
I wish everybody would be able to make a little bit of feed money back for our efforts, but flat out greed at the expense of the breed just makes me sick.
Sorry for the rant.
I would like another outlet as well. I hate ebay. It is awful when you are only an occasional seller.
I\'m pretty sure these 2 posts reference the same site, one I detest for just that reason...
Honestly, if you even hint on here you have something for sale (and a way to contact you) you will be inundated with calls - I don\'t even list myself in the breeders\' directory because I can\'t keep up. Because this forum is public, lots of people read it that aren\'t members, and people looking for real Ameraucana check this forum often. (I was reading here for a couple of years before I joined.)
E-Bay has the traffic to probably get the best price, and several members use it - that\'s how I found Wayne Meredith and got into Ameraucanas. But I\'ve been leary of selling eggs on there because I don\'t want my fb score ruined my people with unrealistic expectations. There aren\'t too many egg sellers that don\'t have at least one negative that reads something like this: \"NONE FERTILE!! SENT ROTTEN EGGS!! EGGS FROM 5 OTHER SELLERS HATCHED IN THE SAME INCUBATOR!\" I don\'t have much patience for that stuff. (This is also the reason I take excess birds to the sale most of the time instead of going through the dance of, \"Yes I noticed it has speckles in it\'s hackles. No it\'s not perfect. If I had a perfect bird do you think I\'d be selling it?\") :rolleyes:
