What is the market for hybrids?

FireDrake Nov 26, 2004 08:17 PM

Especially Jungle corns, and especially F1's? I might have three clutches this 05 season, and I worry about being able to sell them. Last year I had 9 jungle babies and got nowhere advertising them locally. Once I got over my fear of shipping, I did fairly well online, sold two to a local friend, gave one to a good friend, sold two, traded two for tangerine hondurans, traded one for a striped cal king, and kept one. Trading is all well and good but I need cash to buy more pinkies! LOL!
Now I have a website, I hope that helps.
I'm wondering where is the best place to advertise? What if I have a lot left over and need to get them out, is there a wholesale market on them?
Thanks
Sarah

I used a publication called "the recycler" out here in CA. I sold 5 of my jungles through ads in it. They have both a printed paper and an online publication. The downside was I recieved 4 useless leads for every sale I did make through that ad. I got lucky with the lst two....ZFelicien decided he just had to have them.

Hey ... to all I've purchased Hybrids from! Well, that's only u three!

Rainer the Brooksi pair r doing great, they broke out of the "only live feed" thing. They don't seem to be growing as fast as my other Brooksi but I guess I need to look closer, I know the are bigger that when I got um ... and what does ROTFL stand for?

Sarah The Jungles are growing at a great rate!

And Tod, the male jungle just need to settle in some more he took the pink right off the forceps ... can't wait for that female to arrive.

Looking forward to continuing business with all of u!

ROTFLMAO - rolling on the floor laughing my a$$ off

Zenny, your a great guy I I enjoyed our email chats. Keep me updated on the snakes you got from me and I will definetly keep you in mind for some nice stuff next season!

Also I did not mean any disrespect by my ROTFL post. Just thought it was coincidental how the three of us responded.
