Louis & Kyle...
Thanks a lot for the compliments. Louis, it is amazing how many people have forgotten what we used to do years ago with those Possible Hets! I can't tell you how many people that I know that put in a handful of years working with PHs and proved out their lines. I'm sure that a bunch of people struck out as well but as long as you are buying from someone that you can trust, I often think that it is still worth the effort.
As for the paperwork... we try to keep everything as straight as possible just so we all know that there is actual documentation in existence about the lineage of the animals purchased. This type of service goes a long way with the trust between the breeder/dealer and the end customer. This also allows you to get top dollar for the animals should you choose or be forced to sell them.
I recently got a call from a person wanting to sell a BP collection that had some potentially valuable animals in it. When asked who he purchased his $20,000.00+ collection from he said he bought them as an adult group and didn't have any paperwork on the Hets. Unfotunately, as some characters in the industry past have proven, spoken word is just not valuable enough. Couple that with the decline in prices in the market over the last few years and you have a collection that is worth VERY little compared to the initial investment.
Ok... I'll end this long "thank you" post now! We at EbN really appreciate your kind words and business.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
