I have seen out of this world auctions but this takes the cake!

Guess I'm not surprised the seller is from Oklahoma. We sell our own drinking water to Texas.

Actually its a good thing. When the next ones come up for sell with a $2000 reserve, I won't have so far to drive to pick em up!

Joke.

I have a raccoon and some chipmunks in my yard. How much do you think I could get for them?

As to my chickens, I'll sell them too, but they're worth more than $1300 each.

Buyer could possibly be pampered_poultry on here. Mostly turkey posts, but from the same state as the email from the auction implies. Seemed like some fierce bidding, so I believe congratulations are in order!

I looked up this blood line - in the UK, they sell for $8 an egg. ( http://www.orpingtonsuk.com/colours.htm )

i'm so ghetto I'll just stick with my $2/chick feed store birds.

At least this is a legit seller selling actual birds not birds that haven't even made it to the States yet. He's spent lots of money on getting these birds over here so I don't begrudge him selling them for whatever the free marketplace sets the price at. No one put a gun to the buyer's head to make them bid so I don't see what the big deal is about. If they choose to spend that on some chickens is their business....no one elses.

$75 dollars shipping for live birds is not that unreasonable.

When I had my Opals shipped in,the shipping itself was almost $55 and the cost of the horizon boxes last time I checked was near $20.So that pretty much sums up the $75 shipping
