You would do better to be honest about the fact you are a broker instead of making a website that claims that you breed 90% of the animals on there even though they are exactly the same as whats listed on simons rodents and I'm sorry but your wrong - even WITH vat SR is cheaper than you (of course or how would you make a profit?)

I think people want to say good luck with your new business but can't because of the responses they are getting about being able to view animals. Maybe you just havent thought this through enough but people don't take kindly being messed around when it comes to parting with thousands of pounds for animals...

I dread to think what these animals will go through if they've got to be ferried around from 'breeder' to broker to broker just to be viewed then have to make the journey all the way back again if the viewer doesnt want them.

May I clarify a point please !

If the Tamarins are for sale after Friday, you would want to charge me to come and view them because it cost you to get them ?.

If there was nothing wrong physically with them but I felt they were not right for me then I would lose my lose my money ?. What if I felt something was wrong with animals and you disagred, am I going to get my deposit back ?.

How many people do you know that would buy blindly ?

How many people do you know that say they definately want an animal which could be costing thousands of pounds without seeing it.

Would you ?,

I don't think so !! but you expect people to pay for the privilage to view animals they MAY want to buy.


I have recently bought Coati's and Marmosets and at no point was I expected to pay for the privilage of looking. Nor was I expected to buy just because I was going to look at them.

Will we be getting charged to go into a pet shop next

I was going to pm you my question but it seems others want to know the answer too so i thought it best to post on the forum and ask'...


Best Wishes

Neil

You offered me the chance for me to view some animals on another thread if they had not been sold by today.

You dd not mention that you were going to charge me for the privelage of viewing as you have done to other people, so I asked a genuine question.

In the case of the Tamarins you said they were off site so I presumed you were going to charge me.

As the Tamarins are £2950 ( lets make it easy and say £3000 ) you would want to charge me £600 - £750 to cover your costs for me to come and view them. I would have to buy them whether they were fit or not at that.

Are they coming by private jet ?

By the way thanks for answering my question so fully, it was really appreciated.

Best Wishes in your new venture and hope it continues to be so successful.

Neil

Ok no more mister nice guy. You are a waste of time pal.

I only wish people like you would toddle off and try to make money elsewhere without having to involve animals.

I very much doubt business is 'great' seeing as YOU HAVENT GOT ANYTHING TO SELL.

With your attitude - good luck, you're going to need it

Am I the only one who agree's with him above?.

IF the person who want's to buy the animal, cant wait untill they have space to keep them. They will have to order them in = cost. And feed the animal ect, on top and maybe even purchase more housing. Or wait? and no cost?. Someone should get some patience!.

How can you have patience when you are told that if you want the animal they have to say they want it by 2 days time? Might I add they said the foxes are kept with the breeder until they are sold so when exactly could you see them?
That is allot of money to just agree to spend when you have not seen the animal.
20-25% of £2,375 is a hell of a lot for a car ride....Even if it was to be two journeys due to them needing to be returned to the breeder.
Also when asked if she could go and see them at the breeder that was not allowed so the only way to see it was to pay the 20-25%.

Very odd that now we are being told on this forum £45-. If that was told to my friend maybe she would have been more inclined to buy from you.
