Selling excess feeders to local shops?

I've always been amazed at how fast and how many replies I get on Craigslist when I've posted an availability on a bug. But, I just find it easier to ship than to have people come over or have to meet them down the street. You don't want just anybody showing up to your home. However, I will say that I have one regular customer that I met through Craigslist.

I bought a (used, like new) 40 gallon/long tank for our bearded dragon off Craigslist a few weeks ago. Never buy anything new unless you have to, I say!

I absolutely agree. Have you ever considered building your own tanks? I haven't done it, but it seems easy enough if you are mechanically inclined. I'd probably go with some form of plexi and not glass though. Glass does hold up better in the long run but is a little more difficult to cut I can imagine.

Sorry off topic.

I've also considered the "I need a beardie" solution to overpopulation. I think I know enough people with beardies though that I can dish them out to them.

 
lol, yeah, friends with lizards is definitely a good way to get rid of extra feeders. :P I have a person with 3 leopard geckos that I supply.

Peter: What is the species of Roach pictured in your Avatar? I really like the look of it from the dorsal view.

I have been selling to a small shop but they don't sell to much. They buy some but the customers don't because they all have the "yew, gross" mentality. I'm trying to help get rid of that way of thinking in my area though ;)

You know - they have names for people like you - instigator and enabler are two that come to mind right off

I love bearded dragons, but just don't have the room available to properly set one up - but... if I could get a couple of the fleece that are taking up shelf space spun up into yarn....

Get a vittikins or Henrylawsoni's dragon. Exact same as beardies but miniature
