went to a "farm days" swap today. got all set up and this guy that I know from the poultry club comes up to me looking over my silkies, then says he will offer me $5 for that one. I told him the price is $15 and he says, " well when you can't sell them, come see me" I told him I wouldn't because I sell them that for the price all day long and I have grand champions, (so he's nuts).
so he then looks over the 2 blacks I have, says he likes one and will take it for $15 then, "oh heck I'll take both of them if you just hold them until I sell some of my birds"
ok, I don't normally do that (especially after someone insults me with a lowball offer) but he's a club member.. so I do. then later in the morning he's packing to leave, I go up to him about the silkies and he says he's changed his mind doesn't want them but if I get any with big heads and little bodies.....
I could have sold those birds several times over the day and instead I had to take them home as it was closing time :angry
I know, I will not hold birds for anyone with out money in hand!!! I learned, I never do that, boy am I PO'd!!!
