Beautiful, But is it worth it?

Beardie_br0z Sep 23, 2003 09:47 PM

This guy is very nice and all but..550 well thats a decent price for it but the reserve hasnt even been met.. Would you guys pay over $600 and possibly $900 for this guy? I would pay maybe 500 but over that is way outa my league for a MALE. What do you guys think? Heres the link to this guy

I don't see a picture anywhere??? When I went to the link, it took me to nothing....

CheriS Sep 23, 2003 10:01 PM

due to the site he is offered for sale on, I will not support anything in ANY form that is associated with Flukers.

Clink on the URL, go to properties, and select all.... paste that in a browser and you will see what the problem is and replace it with a site that we all know is owned by Flukers.

I know Gene as we have done buisness together before. I don't believe for a second he would improperly represent one of his animals (however these days you never know). I do however have to say that he wants to purchase dragons for pennies then when he has something for sale its very expensive. He has bred this dragon and has eggs incubating so I would imagine that is why he is selling him. I think he is more interested in the "buisness side" than actually owning a beautiful animal. ( and I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that if that's what you want to do.) I do know from personal experience though that he is has been trustworthy in our dealings. He knows that it only takes one bad deal (such as selling an improperly represented dragon) to destroy a good name which is what he is after for his buisness.
As far as paying that for the dragon? If I personally had the money to burn, maybe. He is gorgeous!

lizardboy187 Sep 23, 2003 11:18 PM

I would definatly want at least more pictures to prove that he was that colorful before I put up that much for him i agree looks photoshoped

flammingcat Sep 24, 2003 02:04 AM

When i posted that picture, I had to resize it to fit, I think it made it look a little off, so that may have been me that made it look all photo shopped..he had in in a gif format, that I couldn't resize right, after figure out how to do it better and changing the format here is another picture..I don't know the person who has it up for sale, I personally wouldn't pay that kind of money for him for one my husband would kill me for 2 it makes you wonder why he would sell it if it looks that good..but anyway here is another picture that isn't so resized and looks clearer..

That same male was listed on there before. The person selling him always has dragons for sale and I have NEVER seen one go for a low price. If I remember correctly, it went up to like $700 last time he was listed. I could be wrong... haven't had my 2nd cup of coffee yet LOL

Oh and people did ask about it's color and he insisted it was "true" LOL

look at georgio and pumpkin. pumpkin has just as beautiful saturated color as that dragon, actually better, but he is red, also another dragon that came from satyrday, even brighter deeper orange then that one, he looks to me like that is his color, although to me, he looks thin through the head, i wouldnt buy a dragon from an auction from a breeder i knew nothing about, especially for a price like that, who knows that dragons past, thats a big gamble.

when you look at the head and the background it doesn't look real. Like it was touched up.
