First Instar
Hi all.
tl;dr
make me an offer.
I am editing my collection. Los Angeles pickup only right now. Since a price must be listed let’s say $1000 as an upper bound placeholder for all of them and go from there. OBO. No individual prices listed because all reasonable offers will be considered, and some unreasonable ones. For example: I’d really prefer for this clutter of ts, bed of scorpions, and loveliness of other arthropods to go as one or two or three large lots or something similar. For that unreasonable thing to happen, I can offer as incentive and motivation a >5” 0.1 P. metallica and/or a communal group of 4 or 5 young adult M. balfouri. Think of a sum below $1000 and ask.
Pictures on request.
Most specimens came to me via the very fine people either on this board or that other board. These animals come with enclosures, which in most instances is the right container for the job. Buyer of course may do whatever they want to do with the enclosure.
Please excuse any anachronistic naming conventions.

They’re mixed in.
I’m sure there are others animals to add here. Animals live in the Oaks neighborhood near Los Feliz and Griffith Park.
X-posted to arachnoboards, and local craigslist. Sooo, first come, first served. Aannd, don’t delay: do it today.
Terms of Service
Live Arrival Guarantee
Only living animals will be sold. Given the nature of an in-person, in-vivo purchase, the status of the animal as either living or dead should be clear to both buyer and seller.
Refund Policy
I need them gone, so I can’t take them back. I care deeply for these creatures, and I need to de-accession, not to make money. Animals are to be sold at below-market prices. On top of that, buyer will have an opportunity to meet the animals, see their behavior, sex them if so inclined, and so forth. For these reasons, the animals are sold talis qualis, in their current condition. Buyer receives item (blaberid, t, whip, whatever) from seller tantum et tale—with all its faults and all its merits, and not under warranty. Animals sold are likely to be more valuable than the prices paid, meaning purchaser will have the advantage. However, if the animal dies soon after you get it home, I’m cool with refunding for that animal. I’d hate for that to happen to anybody. These creatures are fairly straightforward and simple algorithms. But death, like bad moults, happens. I don’t want you to have a dead animal. That’s not really a pet, is it? So I guess that means you’d be bringing the dead animal back to me. Thanks. Or maybe you should keep it. And here’s an idea if you can’t keep them when they're alive: Try donating them to a science center. I haven’t had much luck with that route myself, but perhaps you’ll do better.
Thank you for your time.
