Big Breeder Question?

msecc Jun 23, 2005 08:02 PM

The big breeders have huge collections, and other have very nice extensive collections. How much money would it take to sell your whole collection at once? I assume there are some people that are burnt out and would like to give it up, and I assume there are others out there that wouldn't give it up for anything... I'm talking about everything... equipment, racks, database, contact list, all snakes (everything except the property)? We have an idea what the big breeders have, but if you have a smaller collection, throw your price out there and an idea of what your collection consists of?

thinking of buying someone out totally..........??

I'll put it into perspective for you......

I don't have crap........3 amel,8 het amel,a ghost and some hets(3 pr green and butterscotch).pastel.and about 10 huge girls and 10 smaller girls.....and 10 other girls.some poss hets and about 70 corns........new racks..........old racks...boxes.....supplies........etc etc etc.........

....want to buy me out......without the rodent part of it?.....(1000 animals too)..........

..at least......$40,000......maybe to $50,000......?

rough guess.........

......so

you want to buy out like NERD?.........maybe add zeros to that and then some........I couldn't guess.......we'd have to do some math...........figure how many $20,000 snakes and a few $100,000 snakes they have.......crapper load of racks and all..............million (s)....$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$..

..........you win the lottery yet?..........

At times I would sell it for a happy meal if it would work!

Do you want that Super Sized? With a coke or a diet coke? And with a boy toy or a girl toy? I will be there in the morning with your Hot meal. Me and my 12 trucks, and drivers will be there in the morning. We will load them ourselves. No more work for just one man, an army of one.

LOL, come on now, I have two sisters and a brother that work for mcd's two of wich are managers, I can get mcd food ya want.

I don't have a hell of a lot but I wouldn't get rid of them for anything, I'm dying to hatch out baby bp's and even if they weren't worth much I'm sure I'd still be doing it just cause I want to see those babies come out of their eggs I'd image the big guys are really in the same mind frame, the animals are a part of the family, they just pay their own way faster than the little homo sapien members ever do
