Website design in exchange for Livestock

[PSGeckos]

Had an unusual email sent to us the other day.

It was from a guy who runs a web design company in Kent, basically he was offering his services for a trade on livestock!

Just wondered if any other members had a similar email sent? His site looks very professional and well put together, as well as clients feedback, i guess i'm just a bit suspicious and don't trust things at face value!

The guys name is Gary Sumpter and the webite addy is Kent Website Design, Kent Website Development, Kent Graphic Design, Kent SEO, Kent Content Management

What do you think?

Not sure trading livestock for services is really very ethical though.

So its ok for say PSGeckos to pay Gary then Gary buys the geckos off him?

So why not cut out the middle crap and just do an exchange lol.

Because it devalues living animals to the status of money.

Hi Guys,

I do this AROUND once a year, helps me build my collection and helps out the breeders too.

As for devaluing the animals, totally valid point.

HOWEVER, I dont simply say 'send me some animals and i'll build you a website', I contact those people that have reptiles that we (myself and my other half) really want in the collection.

We are pretty choosy as to what we have in our personal collection.

I therefore offer this deal to some people, I have done it several times before and it always works out really well from both sides.

Thanks Guys.

Gary

But instead of paying Gary in cash why not just give him the animals he wants in his collection?
