Default Is anything actually selling?

Seems to be loads of people selling up at the mo on the classifieds .

Now more snakes than buyers i`m thinking ,is anyone actually selling anything?

Is it down to time of year, recession? or just that the hobby is having a downturn.

I feel it is but there are better people on here to confirm this.

I cant comment on snakes, but a buyers point of view:

i tried for weeks to get some dubias, and every post i responded to ended up being dead ends where people have already sold it.

So at least the food is selling.

Likewise on here not selling but selling well through other sites and even just locally from people I have previously dealt with.

I think this time of year tends to slow down anyway with xmas coming soon, but not as bad as I expected.

I am selling stuff but very slowly and way underpriced. This time last year, I would have sold the lot by now, speccially at the prices I am asking. This is for leos in case that matters.
